Need Help to write rules....

[Galisetti Profile]

Hi,

I have to write some rules to redirect users from some URLs to other URL. Please refer below example --

Source Url: http://at.1234.com/Documents/1234%20Test%20for%20Consumer%20Packing%20Goods%20sales%20deck%202007%20version.pptx

Redirect URL: https://at.1234.com/KandA/TestLibrary/Ind%20Exp%20Utility

Please provide the redirection conditions and rules

Thanks & Regards,

Galisetti

Hi Andrew,

Is it opening the right file in this download window?

[Galisetti Profile]

yes, its opening right file..

[HeliconAndrew]

In this case ISAPI_Rewrite did everything it was supposed to do. It just redirected, the fact that the download windows gets opened means there are some IIS settings that need to be changed. I think it's something about MIME type.

Hi Andrew,

can you provide the steps to check MIME Type settings in IIS which you have mention in the post.


Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

I re-read the whole topic and take my words back about the MIME type. Lets simply take a look at the rewrite.log and see how the request is processed. Logging issues are described in FAQ - http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html

hello,

Need help to write a rule for as below.


http://mazda.com.my/mailman/admindb/all ... zda.com.my

to

http://herod.dnsvine.com/mailman/admind ... zda.com.my

[HeliconAndrew]

Hello,

Please, try:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^mazda\.com\.my$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^mailman/admindb/allmazda_mazda\.com\.my$ http://herod.dnsvine.com/mailman/admindb/allmazda_mazda.com.my [NC,R=301,L]


Or do you rather want more universal rule?

Thank You Andrew for your help.

I have put the rule to ISAPI_rewrite config file. But as you see its doesn't work.

Did i put the rule in wrong place? Where should i put the rule?

[sajal Profile]

Thanks Andrew for your awesome help.

I want only this specific url to be redirected.

[HeliconAndrew]

1) In this case make sure ISAPI_Rewrite is working at all by following FAQ - http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html

2) You also need to have these lines on top of your config:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

3) The rule should be in .htaccess or httpd.conf.

i am missing "?" in end of line my i know what is the impact of "?".

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^at\.1234\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^try/1234/ABC\ Library/Credentials\ and\ Experience/1234\ Experience\ Industrial\ abc\.pptx$ /capital/GLibrary/15af43f7\%2D1625\%2D4381\%2D885c\%2D55299c087bae? [NC,R=301,L,NE]

Hello,

The '?' at the end of the rule prevents appending the querystring from original request.

Hi,

In our production server already having 2000 query string rules, i am appending 23 rules below type

Source Url: https://at.1234.com/try/1234/ABC Library/Credentials and Experience/1234 Experience Industrial abc.pptx

Redirect Url: https://at.1234.com/capital/GLibrary/15 ... 299c087bae

Rule is -

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^at\.1234\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^try/1234/ABC\ Library/Credentials\ and\ Experience/1234\ Experience\ Industrial\ abc\.pptx$ /capital/GLibrary/15af43f7\%2D1625\%2D4381\%2D885c\%2D55299c087bae [NC,R=301,L,NE]

then after i am getting web page cannot find(it looked like the user was getting redirected over and over in an infinite loop).

Missing '?' is the reason i am getting below error
web page cannot find(it looked like the user was getting redirected over and over in an infinite loop)


any help you could give would be appricated.

Thanks & Regards,

The rule is okay. It's hard to say why it is happening without seeing the whole picture(other rules) and the logs. Logging issues are described in FAQ - http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html

Rewrite.log shows the processing of the request.
