301 redirect

[sesertin]

Still not working for me. I tried further with:

RedirectMatch 301 [.]score[.] http://domain.com  (I thought a-z stands just for letter and urls contain number and marks)
RedirectMatch 301 [.]score[.] http://domain.com

neither works

[AlanMosley]

You are correct, give me a munite and ill get back to you

[AlanMosley]

try [a-z,0-9]score[a-z,0-9]

[AlanMosley]

[a-z,0-9,=,&]alan[a-z,0-9,=,&]

get the idea

[AlanMosley]

Here this will select your whole url

[a-z,0-9,=&?/.]score[a-z,0-9,=&]

[sesertin]

nothing works. maybe I'll try posting another thread.

[AlanMosley]

Well that will select your url, but what are you trying to do with it.

i have it working on IIS server using that regex, but i cant tell you how to use it in htaccess, as i dont use it

[sesertin]

Thanks for the help. Regretfully this is my very first time writing htaccess so lot of faults can occur. I posted another thread maybe someone knows better than I do. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Zsolt,

Did you actually look at the link I gave you with the code that you needed?.

The answer is to stop trying to use Redirectmatch and use the code I gave you in that example:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /score

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} score=
RewriteRule ^/*$ newlocation.html? [R=301,L]

This is the simplest, cleanest, and most reliable solution to your problem.

Yes, Sha looked at it and got a bit lost at once. I am totally new to server side codes and it needed a little modification but i got it working in the end. Thanks a lot.

[ShaMenz]

Glad you got it worked out

Don't forget if you need extra help on something you can always use the Private Message system in your profile to contact people direct.

Have a great weekend,

Sha

well done sha, i am afraid i got the wrong end of the stick, i thought he wanted to SELECT the url, not simply detect it.
