Hello, I am a newbie (to the Apache rewrite rules) who has been thrown
into the lion's den. We are having trouble achieving our three goals listed
below. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. We are having problems converting the incoming URL to a persistent,
SEO/spider-friendly URL while setting the old URL to a permanent 301 redirect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our goal is to... 1) rewrite incoming alternate domains (ie- www.oursite.org) and old
sub-domains (ie- jewelry.oursite.com) to www.oursite.com. 2) in the URL, persist spider-friendly SEO links (ie-
"www.oursite.com/Diamond/Rings.html" is actually
"www.oursite.com/search.jsp?freeText=Diamond+Rings"). 3) catch and convert old, dead links to their new pages/search results. If the URL changed, the resulting URL, from the above three goals,
would return as a permanent 301 redirect. Here is a sample of our Apache conf file... ------------------------------------------------- RewriteEngine On RewriteLog "apache/logs/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 0 # redirect everything to www except subdomains and internal use RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
!^www\.oursite\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ RewriteRule .? http://www.oursite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301] # Standard category links for use in navigation RewriteRule ^/jewelry.html
/search.jsp?category=JEWELRY [NC,PT] # old, now-deleted pages redirected to search engine RewriteRule /clearance.htm
http://www.oursite.com/search.jsp?freeText=Clearance [NC,R=301,L] # keyword entry points RewriteRule
^/diamonds/$ http://www.oursite.com/search.jsp?freeText=Diamond
[NC,R=301,L] RewriteRule
^/diamonds$
http://www.oursite.com/search.jsp?freeText=Diamond [NC,R=301,L] # old static to new static pages RewriteRule
^/retail/$
http://www.oursite.com/content/retail.htm [NC,R] RewriteRule
^/retail$ http://www.oursite.com/content/retail.htm
[NC,R] RewriteRule
/content/shopping.htm http://www.oursite.com/content/faq.htm [NC,R=301] # Redirect SEO-optimized html paths to free-text searches, up to three
levels deep RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)\/(.*)/(.*)\.html$
[NC] RewriteRule ^.* /search.jsp?freeText=%1\+%2\+%3 [NC,PT] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)\/(.*)\.html$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
!^/includes\/page(.*)\.html$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/routetest\/index\.html$
[NC] RewriteRule ^.* /search.jsp?freeText=%1\+%2 [NC,PT] # Redirect the root path to the new root RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^100.100.100.100 [NC] RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^101.101.101.101 [NC] RewriteRule
^/$
