301 redirect problem, htaccess file and Silverstripe 2.4.5
19 July 2011 at 5:59am Last edited: 19 July 2011 6:28am
I'm currently having problems implementing 301 page redirects on the htaccess file associated with a Silverstripe 2.4.5 install. I've rebuilt a client's old asp based website in Silverstripe and the site has a number of old page references on the search indexes.
The current htaccess file has the following in place:
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files><Files web.config>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /assets/error-500.html<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)
</IfModule><IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###I've looked at a few forum posts on htaccess files and 301 redirect problems and tried placing the following RewriteCond on the Silverstripe htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^news.asp http://www.mydomain.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/ [R=301,NC,L]
Placing the above code at the end of the RewriteRule produced no redirect result on the public page, just a 404 page error ie
... RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^news.asp http://www.mydomain.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/ [R=301,NC,L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###and placing the code before the Silverstripe copy gave the desired page redirect but the main site navigation links broke? ie
RewriteRule ^news.asp http://www.mydomain.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/ [R=301,NC,L]
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow ...Has anyone experienced the same issue with 301 redirects and this type of Silverstripe htaccess file? Any suggestions appreciated!

Getting some success with an old post here http://silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/15090. If I use the following code in the RewriteCond part of the htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.mydomain.co.uk/eurouser/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomains.co.uk/news-and-events/european-user-group/ [R=permanent,L]I get the desired page redirect and the site navigation doesn't break:
### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files><Files web.config>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Files>ErrorDocument 404 /assets/error-404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /assets/error-500.html<IfModule mod_alias.c>
RedirectMatch 403 /silverstripe-cache(/|$)
</IfModule><IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.mydomain.co.uk/eurouser/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomains.co.uk/news-and-events/european-user-group/ [R=permanent,L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###However, if I add another RewriteCond the second redirect produces a 404 page error instead of a redirect ie
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.mydomain.co.uk/eurouser/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomains.co.uk/news-and-events/european-user-group/ [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.mydomain.co.uk/news/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomains.co.uk/news-and-events/ [R=permanent,L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###Any ideas welcome!

Problem solved. Stay away from the .htaccess file and install the Link Mapping Module available here:
http://silverstripe.org/link-mapping-module/
Installs a 'Link Mapping' tab to the CMS allowing old url addresses to be redirected to new pages on your site. Happy days.

Hi all,
I had the same issue.
I fixed it by putting some ReWrite Rules after the ReWrite Base command and before the SS commands e.g.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
SetEnv HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /##my addition below
RewriteRule ^guides/tag/(.*) http://www.example.com/page-to-redirect-to/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###Don't forget to clear your browser cache if the redirect doesn't appear to be working! (CTRL+ ALT + DEL) - Thanks to Pyromanik on the IRC channel for the tip.
