Hi,
Hope you can help, a client of mine has a site with dynamically generated URL’s, I want to make the URL’s SEO friendly, clean them and rewrite them as new keyword rich URL’s and then redirect the old URL to the new.
I am trying to carry out some URL rewrites and redirections in .jsp on an apache server and I just cant figure it out.
To do this in php or html I would add the following code to the .htaccess file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} [1]+\ /old\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^old\.php$ http://www.exampler.co.uk/new/? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule new/$ old.php [L]
Which basically masks/ rewrites the old.php to new.php and at the same time redirects the old.php to the new.php. This works fine on the server for html files but not when I try it on their .jsp URLs.
I cant even get the basic rewrite/ mask working:
RewriteRule new/$ old.php [L]
However they are currently using the url_fw.conf’ to carry out some redirects.
The only mention of jsp in the http.conf file that could be affecting the JSP files is:
<IfDefine RESTRICT>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/OA_HTML/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted/downtime.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/servlets/weboamLocal/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/OA_HTML/cabo/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/OA_MEDIA/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/([^/]).htm(1)?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/([^/]).(gif|bmp|jpeg|jpg)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/servlets/oracle\.jsp\.JspServlet.*
RewriteRule ^/(.)* /OA_HTML/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted/downtime.html [R,L]
</IfDefine>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Neil
