query string

[guamgirl Profile]

Hi, I'm trying to redirect a query string from http://framoeng.no/?page=136&show=254.aspx to http://www.slb.com/services/subsea/subs ... tcher.aspx. The redirect that I created isn't working:

RewriteCond %{Query_String} ^page=136&show=254$
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.slb.com/services/subsea/subs ... tcher.aspx? [NC,R=301,L]

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Please try to use the following config:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=136&show=254$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.slb.com/services/subsea/subs ... tcher.aspx? [NC,R=301,L]

Hello, Emy

Please enable logging in httpd.conf by putting the following lines:

RewriteLogLevel 9
LogLevel debug

And then provide error.log and rewrite.log records for your request
(http://framoeng.no/?page=136&show=254.aspx).

Hi, Anton.

I've enabled the logging, but I didn't see anything related to http://framoeng.no/?page=136&show=254.aspx.

Hello, Emy

Would you please provide rewrite.log and error.log records anyway, they might still be helpful.
Also, please check the IIS log - what status is shown for the target request?
And please make sure any rules are working in the config, e.g. put the following rule on top of your config

RewriteRule testtest http://www.google.com [NC,R=301,L]

And then request www.yoursite.com/testtest. Report the result (Google page would mean it's working, while 404 will indicate some problem).

Anton figured out the reason why it wasn't working.

I needed to add the following condition to the domain redirect:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$

The condition checks if there's a query string in the request to the root. If it's there, the redirect to services/subsea.aspx shouldn't fire and is overridden.
