Redirect url

Hi,

Can someone please provide the exact command in htaccess for redirecting old url to new url.

I want to redirect
www.domain.com/archive/index.php/t-1283.html

to:
www.domain.com/archive/index.php/t-8132.html

btw I use the httpd.conf. Should I place it there or in htaccess in my forum directory?

Thanks in advance

try:

RewriteRule ^archive/index.php/t-1283.html$ /archive/index.php/t-8132.html [L,R=301]

Hi,

It didn't work. It just directs me to the homepage.

Sorry try this:

RewriteRule ^archive/index.php/t-1283.html$ /forum/archive/index.php/t-8132.html [L,R=301]

Replace forum with whatever directory your forums is in. Then add that line to just under the RewriteEngine On in your .htaccess in your forums folder.

Also, when using httpd.conf approach, you may need to add a leading "/" character:

RewriteRule ^/archive/index\.php/t-1283\.html$ /archive/index.php/t-8132.html [L,R=301]

Hmm,

I have tried adding that into my htaccess but it doesn't work.

Are your folders in a subdomain or a folder off your domain or are they in a root directory? The more information you let us know about about your setup the easier it is to write out a rewrite command.

Are you using .htaccess or http.conf?

They're in a root directory and I am using httpd.conf but I put in htaccess.
