url redirect problem

[fzx5v0]

hi I would like to redirect some urls but I am having problems

iwould like to redirect

[mydomain.co.uk...]

to

[mydomain.co.uk...]

I have hundreds of url redirects to do with different image names at the end

I tried this but it doesnot work
RewriteRule ^/index\.php/cPath/images/([^/]+) [mydomain.co.uk...] [R=301,L]

can anyone point me in the right direction

Where did you put this code?
Do you have any other working rewriterules?

Is it a redirect that you want, or a rewrite?

Which URL appears in the links on the HTML page?

Where in the server filesystem is the file actually located?

Hi
I put this in the .htaccess the problem is that when google caches the page it caches the image url's as [mydomain.co.uk...]

when the proper url is
[mydomain.co.uk...]

so in the cached page the images are not displayed but when a user looks at the site the images are there

so I do not understand why it is hapening so I am going to redirect that url so google see the images.

In yahoo msn ect they see the images fine

thanks

In the .htaccess context, the path to the current directory is removed. So the URL-path "seen" by RewriteRule will not include the leading slash. Try:

RewriteRule [b]^in[/b]dex\.php/cPath/images/([^/]+)$ http://www.example.co.uk/images/$1 [R=301,L]

[added] You should also fix the links on your pages to point to the proper URLs. [/added]
