htaccess 301 redirection issue

Question

Regarding 301 redirection, how can I redirect from one URL to another?

From:  http://www.xyz.com/abc.php%0D%0A
To: only url and abc.php

Using .htaccess it does not working.

Redirect 301 /abc.php%0D%0A http://www.xyz.com/abc.php

Please advice. Is it possible or not?

Answer 1

You need to use RedirectMatch that supports regex:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/(abc\.php).*$ /$1

OR else you can use mod_rewrite .

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(abc\.php).*$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]
