301 redirect from one clean URL to another?
I have a few pages on my Drupal installation I've changed the URLs for. I want setup 301 redirects in the .htaccess file or httpd.conf to redirect from these old URLs to the new ones however it doesn't seem to work for me. The old URLs were formatted like http://www.example.com/info/for-users and the new ones are formatted like http://www.example.com/info/for_professionals
However I've tried setting up 301 redirects directly after the "RewriteBase" line as instructed but they don't seem to work:
RewriteRule ^info/for-users$ info/for_professionals [R=301,L]
The issue seems to be with the "info" in the first part of the RewriteRule, if I remove that and try going to http://www.example.com/for-users it redirects to http://www.example.com/info/for_professionals perfectly fine. The info directory is where my Drupal installation lives so I'm wondering if some other line in the Apache config file is breaking this?
Hi Have you checked path
Hi
Have you checked path redirect module ?
Prefer to do it without a module
I've come across the path redirect module but it's still in a beta release and I'd prefer to only deploy stable modules on our production site.
Ideally I would like to accomplish the redirect in the httpd.conf or .htaccess file since it doesn't require the overhead of another module.
I use the path redirect
I use the path redirect module for this purpose it works well and have never encountered any errors. Maybe someone will help you figure out a way to do it other than the way everybody else does.
