Need help with QUERY STRING redirect

[vince786]

I am having trouble with a redirect abd I've setup the following rule. I would really appreciate some help! Without the query string of serial=100 the redirect works,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/shopping/index\.jsp\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^8080$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^serial=100$
RewriteRule ^.*index\.jsp$ newhost:10080/shopping/index.jsp?serial=100 [R=301,L]


Thanks,

Vince

THE_REQUEST is the literal HTTP request sent by the browser.

GET /somepath/somefile.ext?someparam=somevalue HTTP/1.1

Your pattern makes no provision for there to be any parameters contained in that request.

Thanks g1smd. I am quite confused now. So is it correct that I need to rewrite my rule as folows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/shopping/index\.jsp\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^8080$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^serial=100$
RewriteRule ^.*index\.jsp$ newhost:10080/shopping/index.jsp?serial=100 [R=301,L]

An existing rule that works is without the query string. So my task is to add a new rule that includes the query string. Based on what you said it looks like the first RewriteCond is not required. So I tried the fol:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^8080$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^serial=100$
RewriteRule ^.*index\.jsp$ newhost:10080/shopping/index.jsp?serial=100 [R=301,L]

I am still having a problem. Is there a resource that you can point to that starts with the basics.

Thanks very much,

I looked at an example on the web and thought it should work for me but I am quite at a loss!

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=0&start=0$
RewriteRule ^gallery/index.php gallery/index.php?pageId=117&start=0

Basically I have a url that needs to be rewritten which includes a new server name and port. :

htp://oldHost:8080/shop/index.jsp?name=abc
to
htp://newHost:10080/shop/index.jsp?name=abc

So I added the fol rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/shop/index\.jsp\ HTTP/ [NC] <------------ IS THIS RewriteCond REDUNTANT
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^8080$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^name=abc$ <------------ Should there be a ? -> ^?name=abc$
RewriteRule ^.*index.jsp [newHost:10080...]

Apache does not like this. I would very much appreciate any thoughts re this.

Thanks very much!

One or the other of the first two rewriteconds should work, depending on what you're trying to do here. Delete or comment-out the one that you don't need.

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =8080
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?oldHost\.com\.?:8080$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^serial=100$
RewriteRule ^shop/index\.jsp$ http://newHost.com:10080/shop/index.jsp [R=301,L]

Delete your browser cache before testing any new server-side code.
