Mod Rewrite URL and always redirect to new url

Question

htaccess on apache

I have this url:

mydomain.com/old.html

I want it to be rewritten as:

mydomain.com/new.html

But I also want mydomain.com/old.html to always redirect to mydomain.com/new.html .

I tried the following:

RewriteRule ^/new.html /old.html [R=301,L,PT] 

But it doesn't work.

Answer 1

Redirect 301 /old.html http://www.yoursite.com/new.html

应该管用。

Answer 2

Remove the leading slash (or make it optional) because it's stripped from URI's when applying rules in an htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^/?new.html /old.html [R=301,L,PT] 

This would be required to work in conjunction with other rewrite rules, so that everything happens within one module (mod_rewrite), but if you do not need mod_rewrite, you can rely on mod_alias instead (removing the mod_rewrite redirect):

Redirect 301 /old.html http://www.yoursite.com/new.html

But this will redirect stuff like: /old.html/blahblah to http://www.yoursite.com/new.html/blahblah If you don't want that, use:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/old.html$ http://www.yoursite.com/new.html
