Redirect 301 pb with an index2.php

[vmulot]

Hi there,

i had to do some 301 redirects on a website, google had urls like index.php?option= ... (old joomla with no rewriting) and urls like index2.php?option=....
i didn't manage to redirectPermanent (because of query strings) or rewriteCond/rewriteRule in htaccess (all old urls went onto 404 page)

so i did php 301 redirections in at top of my fe_page (a bit dirty)
all old pages begining with index.php?.... are redirecting great
but all old pages starting with index2.php?... still gave me apache 404.

for the moment i created a index2.php and wrote all redirect in it and it works but i find it really dirty.

any idea on why i have those pbs ? (tested on 2 different servers)

thanks

So it is not so complicated as you think

Is the Domain still the same? So you can add the following in the top of your htaccess:

Redirect 301 /index.php?.... /index.html
Redirect 301 /index2.php?.... /index2.html

So you can harcode it in this file and this works pretty well.

Or you can use this extension:

I use this on one Page wich has a lot of redirects and it works pretty well. A combination of both is possible as well
