Question

I want to redirect from a old url which still appears in the google search to the new one. the old url is this:

http://www.marionettecolla.org/file%20_mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano.htm

and I want to redirect it to the home page:

http://www.marionettecolla.org/

I used this in my .htaccess:

Redirect http://marionettecolla.org/file\ _mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano.htm http://marionettecolla.org/

but I am getting Error 500… Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You can’t just escape space like that “\ “. The proper way to do it is “\s”.

Although I am not sure if putting “\s” in place of space in htaccess file would do the trick. Please let me know if it worked.
