I've moved a website to a new domain and I've used RewriteRule
to redirect a number of my URLs.
I'm stuck trying to redirect URLs with query strings in them?
RewriteRule /news/archive.php?cat=economic-impact http://www.new-website.com/faqs/economic-impact [R=301,L]
RewriteRule /news/archive.php?cat=housing-need http://www.new-website.com/faqs/housing-need R=301,L]
RewriteRule /news/archive.php?cat=infrastructure http://www.new-website.com/faqs/infrastructure R=301,L]
Further up the htaccess
file I'm using this to redirect the domain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-website.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old-website.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.new-website.com/$1 [R=301]
When I visit:
old-website.com/news/archive.php?cat=economic-impact
it redirects to
new-website.com/news/archive.php?cat=economic-impact
Which 404s, I need to to redirect to:
new-website.com/faqs/economic-impact
Can anyone help?
You need to add a blank query string on your rewrite to truncate any existing query strings.
The below should do the job:
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.new-website.com/$1? [R=301]
In addition, the way you're checking the existing query strings won't work. You'll need to check them separately:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "cat=(economic-impact|housing-need|infrasructure)"
RewriteRule news/archive.php http://www.new-website.com/faqs/%1? R=301,L]
The %1
will take a backreference from a regex group match in the RewriteCond
