[babooshka]

i am a noob to .htaccess can some one help me figure out why this rule is being ignored. it is supposed to look for all links starting with compare_price- and re Write them

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/compare_price-(.*)-([0-9]+)$ /price.php?dffsku=$3 [R=301,L,QSA]

here is entire .htaccess

Code: Select all
