[TYPO3] RealURL and .htaccess

[Alexander]

Hello list.
I have some problems with RealURL configuration and redirections. I need
place some redirects into my .htaccess file, but now RealURL has
priority. How can I do this, I mean how to make priority for .htaccess.
I need to read .htaccess settings first then RealURL settings.

Regards, Alex

.htaccess is always first. RealURL comes when request is redirected to
index.php. That means you need to place your rules before rules that
redirect everything to index.php.

Seems like this advice doesn't works.
There is my .htaccess configuration:

[code]
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RedirectMatch Permanent ^/productsIndList.aspx?nodeID=2357$
http://www.domain.com/products/business/categories/30.html


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]


RewriteRule
^(typo3|t3lib|tslib|fileadmin|typo3conf|typo3temp|uploads|showpic\.php|favicon\.ico)/
- [L]
RewriteRule ^typo3$ typo3/index_re.php [L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l


RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

[/code]

Is this right configuration?

I never used the Rewrite engine but your RedirectMatch directive is wrong.

You need to escape the '.' (dot) in your regex is you want it to mean
'.' (dot) and not 'any character'.

Simply put un '\' (backslash) in front of it, like this:

\.

Plus, not sure if RedirectMatch is case sensitive, but you might want to
add '(?i)' at the begining of your regex to use case insensitive match:


(?i)^/productsIndList\.aspx?nodeID=2357$

The '?' character is also a special character and mean 'match zero or
one of the previous charater'. So you should probably escape it as well,
like this:

\?

So, in the end, we get the following regex:

(?i)^/productsIndList\.aspx\?nodeID=2357$

Not sure if it will work, but does hurt to try!

Cheers

I'm not good in mod rewrite (that's why I created CoolURI), but I guess
you need to add [L] so it'd stop processing next rules:

RedirectMatch Permanent ^/productsIndList.aspx?nodeID=2357$
http://www.domain.com/products/business/categories/30.html [L]

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Alexander,

You can not target the query string with Apache's mod_alias Redirect and
RedirectMatch directives.

You will have to use mod_rewrite instead:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} nodeID=2357 [NC]
RewriteRule ^productsIndList\.aspx$ http://domain.com/page.html?
[NC,R=301,L]

A few explanations:
- The NC flag means the match is case insensitive;
- The R=301 flag forces a permanent redirect (HTTP 1/x 301 Moved
permanently) which is important if you care about your SEO;
- The L flag stops the rewriting process without applying any other rules;
- The '?' at the end of the redirection URI prevents mod_rewrite from
automatically appending the GET parameters from the old URI.

If you need to redirect more than just a few URIs you might want to
consider using a redirect map instead. I wrote this HOWTO a few of
months ago which explains the process:

http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-english/2007-May/039509.html

BTW: Jan, the [L] flag only applies to mod_rewrite directives not mod_alias.

Hope this helps,

Oliver
