Hi,
I am using RedirectMatch to redirect many bad links from on old website to a new website. One particular link is proving to be harder to redirect than the others for two reasons.
1. It is a link that references a virtual host
2. The old link has a query string and the values of some variables need to be reassigned to new variables.
Inside the tags of my ssl virtual host, I am using RedirectMatch to redirect the following link:
https://secure.myserver.com/order.php?var=xxxxxx
to the new link:
https://secure.myserver.com/buynow/step1?newvar=xxxxxx.
This is the line in the virtual host tag:
RedirectMatch 301 /order\.php\?var=(.*) /buynow/step1.php?newvar=$1
I am pretty sure this is a syntax error but I can't figure it out. Again, I have other simpler redirects working just fine, but not for the virtual host.
All help is appreciated.
Jon |

Why you don't redirect with PHP? It is much easier!
in order.php
| Code: |
<?php
/* Redirect auf eine andere Seite im aktuell angeforderten Verzeichnis */
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
$extra = 'buynow/step1?newvar=' . $_GET['var'];
header("Location: http://$host$uri/$extra");
exit;
?>

James Blond,
Thanks for the suggestion. This will do for a temporary fix, but I was hoping to not have to create the file at all and have apache handle all redirecting. |
