Ouch! That makes for slow and complex.
Is there a better way then?
However, using the old URLs with parameters does not work. I
wonder if this is a character escape issue, and have tried a few
variations but have had no joy. As an example, what I am trying to
do, but that does not work, is:
Redirect 301 /index.php?main_page=index&cPath=28
http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=28&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=36
Redirect 301 /index.php?main_page=index&cPath=57
http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=57&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=36
Indeed, that's the point where you need RewriteRule rather than
Redirect[1]. If you have access to httpd.conf, you should also look
at RewriteMap.
Can you point me at some examples of RewriteRule for what I'm trying
to do above. I've looked at the documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
, but don't see an example of this nature. Or am I missing something
obvious?
Regards,
Ian
