Redirection with .htaccess file

querystring to be removed

[Arockiam]

Hi
I want to redirect all requests to my requests to another URL.Currently I using Redirect Permanent in the .htaccess file. I am facing one problem in this. The subdirectries in the URL are appended to the redirected URL. for eg, this is my old URL
[test.example.com...] Now I want to redirect this to [new.example.com...] The support directory had many sub directries. so i want to redirect if the URL contain the word "support". But the directory names and filenames which present after support, should not be appended to the redirected URL.

Can any one please help me in this?

Thanks

Arockiam,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

This redirect is easily done with mod_rewrite, and possibly also with the RedirectMatch directive, which may be more familiar to you.
