mod_rewrite assistance for migration
TheGorf - May 7, 2008 - 02:22
I am totally stuck on this one. I was reading the info here: http://drupal.org/node/38960
But nothing in this article seems to be helping me. My old site had all page requests coming in as
/index.php?page=page_requested
I need to rewrite that so that the user will now hit the new pages using clean URL's.
I have tried a ton of combinations and now I am stuck and fustrated. I know mod_rewrite is working for me, but I can NOT get it to work for this. Right now I am trying to insert this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=rsvrmanuals$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.whootis.com/RSVRManuals? [R=301,L]
Into the .htaccess right after the RewriteEngine On statement as described in the article above. Anyone lend a little assistance?
AFter some additional
AFter some additional reading on Apache's site I see that it is a formatting error on my part and the rule:
# Begin custom rewriteRewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=rsvrmanuals$
RewriteRule ^index.php /RSVRManuals
works fine. I really only need to trap one or two key links so that will work for now, however rewriting it to redirect any page would be handy. Might have to think on that. hmmm...
