apache rewrite rule help
| Posted by vpswing, 01-07-2013, 09:22 PM | | Hi,
Does anyone know to rewrite the following url:
http://somesite.com/wip/page1/ --> http://somesite.com/page1/
http://somesite.com/wip/page2/ --> http://somesite.com/page2/
http://somesite.com/wip/page3/ --> http://somesite.com/page3
Basically removing the folder 'wip' from the url?
Many thanks!
Cheers,
XW

#Method 1
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://newsite.com/newpage.html
#Method 2
RewriteRule ^oldpage.html$ http://newsite.com/newpage.html [R=301]
Redirect Whole Site Using 301
If you are moving to new website and want all your visitor of old site being redirected to new site then here is the code for you.
#Method 1
Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com/
#Method 2
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Everything else remains the same. Idea idea how?
Many thanks!

Is there a reason you don't just move the files? On a *nix server you could also symlink the directories. I try to avoid a rewrite unless there's a serious reason for it.

| Posted by nettiapina, 01-16-2013, 12:41 AM | | Dareordie provided you the answer. Just take his RewriteRule (method #2) and remove [R=301]. If you can't get that to work (by doing the obvious little changes), your CMS or server might be interfering with the rewrite.
I would just copy the files or change the website root directory. Much cleaner and simpler.

RedirectMatch 301 /wip/page1/(.*) /page1/$1

| Posted by vpswing, 01-16-2013, 04:05 AM | | Thanks for all your answers guys!
This works like a charm:
RedirectMatch 301 /wip/(.*) /$1
Cheers!
