Question

I’ve been searching and searching for an answer and decided it may be best to ask. I am trying to redirect the following:

redirect 301 /store/?p=3m_controltac http://www.designtoprint.com/3m-controltac

I know it has something to do with using a GET variable but every example I’ve tried ends without success.

Answer 1

You cannot do this with Redirect directive as it does not work with GET variables. Your best choice is to use mod_rewrite (or implement it in your webpage (e.g. php file) directly):

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =p=3m_controltac
RewriteRule ^store/$ http://www.designtoprint.com/3m-controltac? [R=301,L]

This will redirect (using 301 code) from /store/?p=3m_controltac to http://www.designtoprint.com/3m-controltac ONLY (no other URLs will be affected).
