redirect htaccess

[sweet160]

Hi i would like to redirect with htaccess

http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules&client=0

to

http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php

But i havent got an idea how to write the rule,

thank you very much....

Please at least have a go at starting the two lines of code, otherwise the preceding 80 000 threads with examples have all gone to waste...

RedirectMatch 301 http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules&client=0(.*) http://www.mysite.com/administrator/$1

I have this but it doesnt work...

[g1smd]

Pattern matching works only with the requested path. It cannot test the requested domain nor parameters.

RedirectMatch cannot be used when the request contains parameters. Use a RewriteRule to test the path and a RewriteCond to test QUERY_STRING or THE_REQUEST.

Use example.com in this forum to suppress auto-linking.

I really have to admit that this isnt my field but i am guessing something like:

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^.+\.administrator/index.php?option=com_modules&client=0$
RewriteRule ^(/~.+) http://www.example.com/administrator/$1 [R,L]

Guess a little more. REMOTE_HOST is the other person's domain name. You need to look at QUERY_STRING, among other things.

The Rule will always fail, because the body of an URL in mod_rewrite never begins with a / unless it was malformed to start with.

R by default means 302. Never use this unless you really do plan to stop redirecting within a few weeks.

Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing any discussion on what "temporary" means. Maybe there isn't a hard-and-fast rule other than "I won't be doing this forever".
