[SOLVED] - pages do not redirect

[swapdude]

Hi,

My old web company set up pages like

http://www.domain.com/?pg=about
http://www.domain.com/?pg=contact

etc

he then used php includes to display the data. it is not at all efficient.

Now i have created pages like

http://www.domain.com/about/
http://www.domain.com/contact/

But this is not working at all

i tried

redirect 301 /?pg=about http://www.domain.com/about/
redirect 301 ?pg=about http://www.domain.com/about/

but they don't work.

any help appreciated

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?pg=(about|contact)(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /%2/? [R=301,L]

lets say i have a page

?pg=page1 but i need to redirect it to /capabilities/

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?pg=page1(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /capabilities/? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?pg=(about|contact)(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /%2/? [R=301,L]
