Apache (MySQL, PHP) redirect

[Andrew Brown]

I need to redirect

http://c18.net/c18/c18_pages.php?nom=c18_publications

to

http://c18.net/18/p.php?nom=p_toutes

and tried in .htaccess

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
[lots of other redirections]
RedirectMatch .*c18_publications http://c18.net/18/p.php?nom=p_toutes
[lots of other redirections]
</IfModule>

which does nothing. There are discussions all over the web on how to
redirect ? urls, and none of the solutions proposed seem to work. Is
there a solution? Getting a bit desperate here...

I think you want mod_rewrite, not mod_alias. Or is that not an option?

Andy,

# FILEPATH : /c18/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On

# test RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} USING localhost
# test RewriteRule using plain google

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?localhost
# RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^nom=c18_publications
# RewriteRule /* http://www.google.com? [R,L]
# RewriteRule /* http://c18.net/18/p.php?nom=p_toutes [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?c18.net
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^nom=c18_publications
RewriteRule /* http://c18.net/18/p.php?nom=p_toutes [R,L]


This '. htaccess ' file worked fine for me...

Andy,

RewriteEngine On

# test RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} USING localhost
# test RewriteRule using plain google

# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?localhost
# RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^nom=c18_publications
# RewriteRule /* http://www.google.com? [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?c18.net
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^nom=c18_publications
RewriteRule /* http://c18.net/18/p.php?nom=p_toutes [R,L]

This worked fine for me...

That does it Bill, many thanks !

It fails ("too many redirects") if what follows nom= does not change,
presumably in that case I could add another RewriteCond %
{QUERY_STRING} line.
