Problem with 301 Redirects

[mediamar]

I moved an old site to processwire and want to redirect the old URLs with php-filenames to the new folders via .htaccess to match the new structure.

I tried:

RedirectMatch 301 /filename.php http://example.com/filename/

The Browser end up like this:
http://example.com/filename/?it=filename.php

Its interfering with that Processwire .htaccess rule

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

  # Pass control to ProcessWire if all the above directives allow us to this point.

  # For regular VirtualHosts (most installs)

  # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA]

 

If i comment that out the redirect in the URL is ok, but every Klick on a websitelink is showing the homepage.

 

Any idea how i can fix this?

Thanks

Just redirect before the mentioned .htaccess rule. But I'd also suggest looking into ProcessRedirects or Jumplinks, which are GUI modules, where you can set up redirects.

Thank you for the quick response. I already tried to apply the rule before, but same result. Is there one of the modules you can recommend?

Ok. I tried Jumplinks and it works like charm. Thanks again for the quickest support ever seen and http://modules.processwire.com/authors/mike-rockett/.

Have a nice day.

Hi Mediamar,

I'm sure you've already begun digging into the documentation, but you can use the following redirect to match all URIs using a php extension:

Source: {path}.php

Destination: {path}/

Glad you like the module.
