Need help redirect one page to another site

need help to redirect a specific page to another site

[colombo]

Hello,
Here is the description on the final result that i need:

redirecting

http://www.domain_1.com/somepage.html?id=3

to

http://www.domain_2.com/directory

here is the code that i tried:

Redirect 301 /somepage.html?id=3 [domain_2.com...]

But it's not working, all i need is to redirect that page to a different url.

Please advise.

thanks.

Try this in an htaccess file in the root of your site.

redirect /~domain_1.com/somepage.html?id=3 http:slashslashwww.domain_2.com/directory

REPLACE slashslash with //

I just did that so this forum doesn't link it.

You'll need a RewriteRule with [R=301,L] flags for this, and you can test the QUERY_STRING in a preceding RewriteCond.

Thank you for the answers.
Demaesto - i tried it, it doesn't work,i tried that code:
Redirect 301 /~domain_1.com/somepage.html?id=3 http:slashslashwww.domain_2.com/directory

g1smd - i didn't understand your answer, can you show me an example please?

[Demaestro]

colombo what is your server OS and what are you using to serve files? Apache or IIS?

Also I assume you replaced the slashslash

[colombo]

I use Apache , not sure about the OS.

Yes sure i replaced the domains and the slashslash.

Thank you Jim.
I saw your answer here - [webmasterworld.com...]

i tried this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=80564(&|$)
RewriteRule ^product\.jhtm$ http://www.example.com/directory [R=301,L]

It works , but i have only one problem now, it's redirect to:
http://www.example.com/directory?id=80564

and i want it to redirect to :
http://www.example.com/directory

i don't want it to pass the ID.

Thanks for the help.

I don't know why you're checking your disk (twice) for file- and directory-exists. If you're not absolutely sure you need to do this, then don't do it -- Your site will be faster and your hard drive will last longer...

The only way REQUEST_FILENAME won't resolve to an existing file is if you delete /product.jhtm
So the rule will not run until you delete that file.

If you must check -f and -d, then these two RewriteConds should be the very last ones, so they will only execute if absolutely necessary -- Put the query string check first.

I suspect that all you need is this:

RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=80564(&.*)?$
RewriteRule ^product\.jhtm$ http://www.example.com/directo[b]ry?[/b] [R=301,L]
