301将动态重定向到静态网址-Magento

Question

For the life of me and all my years of experience with .htaccess I cannot get this simple redirect to work... I am totally stumped so any help would be great;

From: http://www.offices-furniture.co.uk/pp?prod=fridgemaster-desk-fan.html

To: http://www.offices-furniture.co.uk/fridgemaster-desk-fan.html

Should be simple, but ohhh no..

I'm using magento, own dedicated server so have full access to everything

301 Redirects for Dynamic URLs to Static Pages with htaccess

Article id is necesary in htaccess, look excel table

Answer 3

Finally got to the bottom of this some time later. Basically Magento was interfering with the htaccess file, so I tested on another website;

http://www.office-desks.co.uk/solar-cantilever-combi-desks.html is actually loading the result from http://www.office-desks.co.uk/cat/product.php?prod=solar-cantilever-combi-desks.html

Now I have nice clean URL's wohoo :)

Here is my htaccess code which may help someone;

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ cat/product.php?prod=$1

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ cat/cat.php?cat=$1

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ cat/cat.php?cat=$1

The lines in magento which was causing the problems was these (down to the wildcard);

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) m1_seourls.router.php

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) m1_seourls.router.php
