使用.htaccess将所有ASP重定向到Magento中的单个PHP页面

Question

I am trying to redirect all the requests to .aspx pages in my Magento installation to a single PHP page that will handle a redirect.

My goal is to redirect every request of a .aspx page to migration-redirect.php and passing the original url/aspx page to the PHP page.

I am using the below code in the .htaccess file in the Magento 1.8 root dir to achieve this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.aspx$ /migration-redirect.php?ref=$1.aspx [NC,QSA]

pasted right above the RewriteRule .* index.php [L] code.

I have tried to paste the above code in different places of the standard Magento .htaccess file but it does not work. Each time i request for an .aspx page i get redirected to the 404 error page of Magento. I had already tried the above code on another server (without Magento) and it worked.

What am i missing? Thanks

Suppose your old website page is www.baseurl.com/icatalog/p.aspx and you want to redirect it to a new plain URL below will work like charm:

RewriteRule ^icatalog/p\.aspx$ http://catalog.mcfeelys.com/s00178.htm [R=301,QSA,L]

Kind note I have placed this for those who want have static PHP redirect from aspx page of older/unwanted website.
