Re direct dynamic urls to one static url

[richr45 Profile]

Hi, I have many query string urls like this which no longer exists and I need to do a 301 redirect on all the queries to that page, to one static page (my homepage).

Code: Select all

http://www.mysite.com/tips.asp?tip=search-for-freedom


The methods I have tried when redirected have left me with the homepage url like this

Code: Select all

http://www.mysite.com?tip=search-for-freedom


Is there a way to redirect all the queries to just
http://www.mysite.com

Thanks in advance
All the best
Richard

Hello,

Sure, the rule you have is excellent, because it worked. All you need to do is to tweak it a little.
Lets say you have a rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tip=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^typs\.asp$ / [NC,R=301,L]

All you need is to add '?' at the end of the destination URL:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tip=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^typs\.asp$ /? [NC,R=301,L]

Regards
Andrew
