Question

in my website I have some pages structured in this way:

http://www.mysite.com/x/y.php?query=z

I wrote a rule in my .htaccess file that is rewriting the pages in this way:

http://www.mysite.com/x-y/z

Now, since I am getting some SEO problems with these urls I would like my .htaccess file to 301 redirect both urls (www.mysite.com/x/y.php?query=z and http://www.mysite.com/x-y/z) to something like this:

http://www.mysite.com/x-y/z.html

I can I do this? I am posting you my .htaccess rule:

AuthType Basic 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([^/]+)-([^/]+)/([^/]+) $1/$2.php?titolo=$3 [L]

Thanks in advance!

EDIT

Hi, as I wrote in my first post I need to 301 redirect some pages in my website. I have for example some pages like this:

http://www.mysite.com/dir/subdir/page.php?titolo=foo

which are now written like this (I am using the code I posted before):

http://www.mysite.com/dir/subdir-page/foo

Now I want to 301 redirect both http://www.mysite.com/dir/subdir/page.php?titolo=foo and http://www.mysite.com/dir/subdir-page/foo to this:

http://www.mysite.com/dir/subdir-page/foo.html

I put my htaccess in the “dir” folder. However the code you gave me did not work, I am sorry… since I am new to the htaccess I would appreciate very well your help.

Thanks in advance and best regards from Italy

Use this code:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /dir

## External 301 redirects
# /dir/subdir-page/foo to /dir/subdir-page/foo.html
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [R=302,L]

# /dir/subdir/page.php?titolo=foo to /dir/subdir-page/foo.html
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+[^/]+/([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.php\?titolo=([^\s]+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1-%2/%3.html? [R=302,L,NC]

## Internal redirect
# /dir/subdir-page/foo.html to /dir/subdir/page.php?titolo=foo
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ $1/$2.php?titolo=$3 [NC,L,QSA]
