301 redirect help please

[karter2]

Hi All

I can achieve the basic

redirect 301 /oldpage /newpage.asp

However, i was trying out

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z]+)$ http://www.example.com/$1/pro/index.asp [L/R=301]

bsically, trying to get

/directory/greenwidget

to

http://www.example.com/directory/greenwidget/pro/index.asp

The patern always remaining the same

The code above causes Server 500 error

please help

The redirect rematches the pattern, and redirects again in an infinite loop. Make the pattern more specific so that cannot happen.

Don't include the index.asp filename in the target path.

The flags need a comma, so it is [R=301,L] here.

hi gsmd, sadly i gotta have the index.asp as this is a .net application, actually, its index.aspx, an without the .aspx , it doesn't trigger the application file

How do you mean more specific ?

For now i'll try

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z]+)$ http://www.example.com/$1/pro/index.aspx [R=301,L]

Well, now it just ignores the code :)

In .htaccess the leading slash must be omitted from the pattern.
