Basically wondering if anyone knows whether an external rewrite as described below is any different (to a SE) than an internal rewrite?
I have a page.html:
www.mydomain.com/dir1/page.html
that I'm trying to redirect to
www.mydomian.com/categories.php?cat=7
I can do it with:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^dir1/page\.html$ http://www.mydomain.com/categories.php?cat=7 [R]
but I cannot rewrite it internally - what happens is all my relational links to images, etc. think they are now in /dir1/ so I don't get any images, etc.
Maybe I just missed something simple.
Any insight on the SEO topic or help on an internal rewrite is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ignacio
