ISAPI Redirect 3 Filter 301 Redirect with subdomain

[blurryphoenix Profile]

I'm very new in terms of writing rules for ISAPI Rewrite 3 from Helicon (licensed version) to be used for IIS6. I need to write 90+ rules for different pages from "subdomain.domain.com" to "www.domain.com", and I'm not very familiar with RegEx patterns. Unfortunately, these sites don't mirror, so doing a simple query string append won't work.

Example: Redirect "http://subdomain.domain.com/products/product.aspx?id=42" to "http://www.domain.com/productgroup/productinfo"

I have a pretty good start on it, however the furthest I've gotten is to get a specific page redirect to work. I need to get it down to the specific ID for some of these pages to redirect differently. Currently, the code I have for the web page redirect to Google (just for testing purposes) is

Code: Select all

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.102

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(subfolder.html)/?(.*)$ http://www.google.com/ [NC,R=301,L]

NOTE: I just created a simple website with the following pages:
- /index.html
- /subfolder/subfolder.html
- /subfolder/subfolder2.html
- /subdir/subdir.html

According to the previous code, "/subfolder/subfolder.html" redirects to Google and the others show the page normally. For testing purposes, I've been trying to append "id=1" to redirect to YouTube and "id=2" to redirect to Facebook, and neither of those are working at the moment. The code for that is

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^(subfolder2.html\?id=1)$ http://www.youtube.com/ [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(subfolder2.html\?id=2)$ http://www.facebook.com/ [NC,R=301,L]

All I need is to get a pattern that works, then I can modify it from there to make it work for the rest of the pages.

Thank you for any responses!

Hello,

Please, take a look at "URLs with question mark don't work" in FAQ (http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html) this will help you resolve the problem.

Thank you for the response. I tried altering that a bit to work with my need, and it's still not redirecting at all.

Here's the new code I have

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %(QUERY_STRING) ^id=(\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^subfolder2\.html$ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%1? [NC,R=301,L]

And here's the Rewrite.log that I have with it

Code: Select all

I can see from the log file that it's correctly seeing the query string, but it doesn't seem to be going passed that. It looks as though the pattern may still be wrong.

Hi,

Correct, the following line tells you exactly why:

Code: Select all

(3) applying pattern '^subfolder2\.html$' to uri 'subfolder/subfolder2.html'

You request "/subfolder/subfolder2.html?id=XYZ" and the pattern in the rule requires the path to start with /subfolder2.html?id=XYZ
Just tweak the rule a little more... and create several variations of it to match all possible scenarios.
