htaccess redirect problem

[ragavbala]

hi
I am having a htaccess URL
1.RewriteRule ^exemples-demandes-devis-([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+).html?$ exemples-subcat-demandes-devis.php?cate=$1&subcat=$2 [R=301]

now i am going to write the URL
2.RewriteRule ^exemples-demandes-devis-travaux-Abri_Garage.html$ exemples-demandes-devis-travaux-Abri_Pergola_Garage.html [R=301]


while i enter the URL second one
exemples-demandes-devis-travaux-Abri_Garage.html
it is redirecting to the
exemples-subcat-demandes-devis.php?cate=$1&subcat=$2 which one written globally
i have to redirect the url to the second one
Please tell me the solution it is very urgent

Thanks in Advance

That would indicate that the rules are in the wrong order, and should be reversed.

But there seems to be a more-serious problem here in that your first rule *should NOT* be a redirect. If it is a redirect, it defeats the entire purpose of using search-friendly keyword-URLs.

This may need some adjustment to work with your site, but a better approach would be:

# Externally redirect specific incorrect URL to add "_Pergola"
RewriteRule ^exemples-demandes-devis-travaux-Abri_Garage\.html$ http://example.com/exemples-demandes-devis-travaux-Abri_Pergola_Garage.html [R=301,L]
#
# Internally rewrite search-friendly URL-path requests to script filepath plus query
RewriteRule ^exemples-demandes-devis-([^/\-]+)-([^/.\-]+)\.html?$ exemples-subcat-demandes-devis.php?cate=$1&subcat=$2 [L]

Note the distinctions between external redirects and internal rewrites. An external redirect is a URL-to-URL translation, while an internal rewrite is a URL-to-filepath translation; URLs and filepaths are not at all the same thing...

Note also minor improvements and corrections to patterns and character-escaping.

Hi
I tried with the your method , but it is not working ,
Do you have any other ideas to do this?

[ragavbala]

do you know any good sites for rewriting URL for htaccess

[jdMorgan]

Ignoring the insinuation, I have to ask... Did you delete your browser cache before testing the new code?

What, specifically, "is not working?" :
How do you test?
What were the results?
How did those results differ from your expectations?
