Relocated Some Content to Sub Dir and Need Help

Postby smashingred » Mon Mar 26, 2007 10:19 am

Hey folks, first post,

I have searched the forums for a solution for the following problem:

I relocated the contents of my webroot to a subdirectory and have placed another CMS that uses its own URL structure.

I want all document requests with the following:
Code: Select all
index.php?action=

To be redirected to the same document but in the subdirectory.
The real urls contain a query string like the following URL:
Code: Select all
http://www.example.com/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=23

The result I seek is the following:
Code: Select all
http://www.example.com/listings/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=23

I have tried various and sundry versions of the following to redirect it with no success:
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php\?action=(.*)$ subdir/index.php?action=$1 [R=301,L]



I can't use a rule to rewrite every url in the webroot as it will screw up friendly urls in the new content of the root.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You need QUERY_STRING
Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?action= [NC]
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ /subdir/index.php [R=301,L]
