Help with 301 Redirection

Need Help with 301 Redirection

[asahmed]

Hello,

I'm new to Redirections in Apache web server,

Can anyone tell me how to do the following:

I want to redirect:
[domain.com...]
To:
[sub.domain.com...]

Variable should stay the same, I only want a 301 permanent redirection from domain to subdomains just for that specific category.

Hope someone will help

Try searching this forum for that type of code -- It's been posted many times, including once already today [webmasterworld.com]. modify it to suit your needs, test it, and then ask any specific questions back here.

Please see our Apache Forum Charter for additional information.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim,

I'm sorry I don't really understand this, I've searched but didn't get a solution..

I tried this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ product =1$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ [sub.domain.com...] [R=301,L]

but the redirection is only done when the product id is '1' and it redirects to product '1%3f'

what I want is to pass a variable, i mean any numeric value should be redirected with the same value.

Hope you can help

Thanks

The %3f will be the stray question mark your rule adds on the end. It's there in your code.

In place of the '1' in the RewriteCond, use ([0-9]+) and then reference it using the %1 backreference in the rule target, in place of the hard-coded '1'.

thanks! it works now

In domain.com/.htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^product=
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://sub.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

and in sub.domain.com/.htaccess:

DirectoryIndex /index.php

This gets rid of the unnecessary "/index.php" in the sub.domain.com URLs, keeping only the query string (which passes through the above rule unchanged).
