redirect to new picture (newbie)

[mlh Profile]

Hi there
I am a newbie on Url rewriting with very little chance to write new rules.
I am running IIS 6 and I see Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite 3.1.0.78
Here is my requirement: change the logo image to a new one.
<whatever protocol><whatever method><whatever site>, every time there is "logo.gif" , then redirect to newpath/newlogo.gif

I would much appreciate if someone could tell me how to achieve that.
Thanks

Hello,

Lets try using:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule logo\.gif /newpath/newlogo.gif [NC,R=301,L]

Thanks for that quick answer, in the meantim, I've checked and confirm that the url rewriting module is up and running.
so I put what you mentioned into the .htaccess as shown below

Code: Select all

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.78

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule /QueryCentre/Static/Images/wn_logo\.gif /QueryCentre/Static/Images/Logo_white.jpg [NC,R=301,L]


My IIS logs looks like

Code: Select all

W3SVC1  GET /QueryCentre/Static/Images/wn_logo.gif - 443 -


Still it does not redirect... (why there is a backslash before .gif?)

Instead of

Code: Select all

RewriteRule /QueryCentre/Static/Images/wn_logo\.gif /QueryCentre/Static/Images/Logo_white.jpg [NC,R=301,L]

Try using

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^QueryCentre/Static/Images/wn_logo\.gif /QueryCentre/Static/Images/Logo_white.jpg [NC,R=301,L]

Also, IIS log won't show you anything. YOu need to use rewrite.log to see how request is processed. Logging issues are described in FAQ - http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html

We use '\' to escape '.', since in the left part of the rule we use regular expressions.

That's working fine now.
I am using IIS logs just to see "hits details" not for the Url rewriting stuff.
Thanks a lot!
