Hi, I'm working for a small company that uses a custom CMS. When customers create pages in the CMS a file gets created based on the page's id number - for example: www.mysite.com/pages/pid5.html I've pushed some code into the CMS that lets the site admin create a nice URL for each page so you get something nicer like: www.mysite.com/products.html The pid5.html file still exists but now they should see the new URL everywhere on the site. The rule I used for this was: RewriteRule ^products.html$ /pages/pid5.html [L,QSA,NC] One of the folks in charge here wanted to make sure that for existing sites anyone who still had the old URL bookmarked or search engines that have the old URL gets a permanent redirect to the new one to avoid having two URLs that go to the same place. I thought I'd do this with a RedirectPermanent, but when I do that I get a redirect loop. I also tried creating rewrite rules for the pid5.html page - no luck. Basically, is there any way to have a rewrite rule map a new URL name to an existing page, and also a permanent redirect for anyone using the old URL name. I would have to think this has come up before but wasn't able to find anything. Thanks for your help, Josh --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
