Normally I don’t deal out freebies, but this one is quite easy.
Here ya go:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^country-origin-Irish-page-(\\d+)\\.html$ /country-origin-Irlandia,_Ireland,_Irish-page-$1.html

If you are on Apache 1.x change ^ to ^/
If you’re not sure whether you are Apache 1.x or 2.x change ^ to ^/?

Yes I know, but the “and so on” he typed suggested to me there are lots of URL’s, in which case I reckoned mod_rewrite would be faster :slight_smile:

ScallioXTX,

I already gave him that - in the tutorial linked in my signature AND which is in the sticky posts. Why, oh, why do we have to repeat EVERYTHING when someone won’t take the time to look. I hate spoonfeeding!

In addition, if basketmen only has the four URLs to change, mod_alias’ Redirect would be much faster (but only because it’s part of Apache’s core).
