[users@httpd] Rewriterule syntax not working
Hi,
Unable to get Rewriterule working
I have modified htaccess file in folder Merchant2 as follows:
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^old/URL/path$ http://yourdomain.com/new/path [R=301,L]
Redirect 301
/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AWLAS&Category_Code=Abc+Xyz
http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2
Thanks, Darly

Hi Josha,
Thanks for excellent advise; the following works:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Merchant2/merchant.mv [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}
^Screen\=CTGY\&Store_Code=AWLAS\&Category_Code\=Abc+Xyz$
RewriteRule (.*)
http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2[R=301,L]

Hi Josha,
Thanks for your patience and help. I do not have access to a server and the
application that is serving the old url's.
I think it is a syntax issue, one old URL routed to one new URL.

Then install apache on your local server with as similar a config as
possible, test and debug it there using the RewriteLog, then upload
it.
Sorry, but debugging mod_rewrite without the RewriteLog is like
driving blindfolded.

I am on a virtual host, Hosting provider is probably not allowing changes

I udated the Rewrite rule as follows:
RewriteRule merchant.mv
http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2 [R=301,L]
It is not being rerouted.
#This RewriteLog line gives an error message
RewriteLog /home/site/www/Merchant2/logs_server_rewrite.txt
500 Internal Server error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.
I created the logs_server_rewrite.txt file (touch) and chmod 777
Greatly appreciate your help.

Third try: Use the RewriteLog!
Given that you are in an .htaccess file, the RewriteRule will be
matching relative to the current URL-path, so you probably want
RewriteRule merchant.mv ...
You're welcome to post again, but I'm not personally going to help you
anymore unless you try to help yourself a little

If you were using the RewriteLog, you'd see that the contents of the
%{QUERY_STRING} is the part after the question mark.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AWLAS&Category_Code=Abc+Xyz$
RewriteRule ^/Merchange2/merchant.mv
http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^/$
http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=view_user&user=2[R=301,L]
The condition is not met; It is going to the old url.
It should redirect to the new url when the old string (url) is true.

Telling us that it is "not working" is not a good way to get help.
Tell us exactly what happened.
With mod_rewrite, you need to use the RewriteLog to debug.
But your first problem is that you need to read the docs for
RewriteRule, and in particular the box that is titled "Query String".
It tells you that RewriteRule doesn't match against the query string.
You need to use RewriteCond %{Query_String}

And what happened?
Luckily, in this case I can guess.
For URL manipulation involving a query string, you must use
mod_rewrite. mod_alias and the Redirect directive will not work.
