使用.htaccess将带有查询字符串的一个页面重定向到另一个页面

Question

having issues redirecting from an existing page to another page. I have the URL:

http://www.thedomain.com/webpage-themission.php?wp=The%20Mission

and I want to redirect it to:

http://www.thedomain.com/webpage.php?wp=The%20Mission

I have tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/webpage-themission.php?wp=The%20Mission$ http://thedomain.com/webpage.php?wp=The%20Mission$1 [L,R=301]

and many other combinations but no such luck, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You should not include the query string in the redirect rule, as it is not evaluated at all.

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?webpage-themission\.php$ http://thedomain.com/webpage.php [L,R=301,QSA]

A few notes:

• It is important to note the QSA flag that is specified. This will have the effect of appending the query string wp=The%20Mission to the redirected URL.
• I also escaped the . in the matching rule so that it does not behave as a wildcard and allow a redirect on something like /webpage-themissionXphp
• I put the ? after the initial backslash, as typically in directory context (i.e. .htaccess) the forward slash is not compared, meaning that the rule would need to be ^webpage.... Putting /? makes the rule work in both the directory context and the server context (i.e. httpd.conf).
