I’m using the following code to redirect traffic to a spesific page (this traffic is coming via google from an old site which used to use my servers ip)
RewriteRule ^viewtopic.php?/?$ http://www.myurl.org.uk/ [L,R=301]
As I understand it this ^viewtopic.php?/?$ should strip away the query string but it isn’t working. Any help appreciated.
Example URL
http://www.myurl.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44207&start=2265
Output when redirected
http://www.myurl.org.uk/?f=3&t=44207&start=2265
You were close to the answer… You have the
?on the wrong side. Put it on the redirect side to strip off the query string:In a 301 redirect, mod_rewrite will normally append the full query string. But placing a
?at the end of your rewritten URL without a corresponding[QSA](“querystring append”) flag will instruct it instead to use the blank query string you supplied.
