TOPIC: Redirect troubles...

Redirect troubles... 14 years, 4 months ago #13939

Hi, I'm using JoomSEF and the virtuemart plugin. I'm developing a new site to replace on old ecommerce system.

The old url looks like domain.com/index.php?categoryID=79

And the new one looks like domain.com/shop/categoryname

I now need to 301 redirect the old urls to the new ones. Easier said then done!

In my .htaccess I have...
 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)categoryID=45$ shop/category1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule (.*)categoryID=46$ shop/category2 [L,R=301]

...but it don't work. It works fine if I omit the '?' from the old url but it seems once there is a query I need to have something else in the .htaccess. I know very little about this subject but I'm guessing I need some RewriteCond rule in there?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Solved!

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^categoryID=79$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /shop/categoryname? [L,R=301]
