- Code: Select all
http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/rewrite-underscores-to-hyphens-for-seo-url.html
I copied and pasted it into my .htaccess file and uploaded it to the server. It works on URLs like this:
- Code: Select all
http://www.mysite.com/communications_test.html
It redirects just fine. I am switching over to a new cart system (fom fortune3 to magento) and I do not want to lose all my links on google. So this 301 redirect is exactly what I need. But my old links have more than just 6 underscores in them. So I figured if I just follwed the pattern, it would work just fine. I started with this:
- Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !\.(html|php)$ - [S=6]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3-$4-$5-$6-$7 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3-$4-$5-$6 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3-$4-$5 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3-$4 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2 [E=underscores:Yes]
RewriteCond %{ENV:underscores} ^Yes$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.askapache.com/$1 [R=301,L]
And I changed it to this:
- Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !\.(html|php)$ - [S=19]
RewriteRule ^([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_([^_]*)_(.*)$ $1-$2-$3-$4-$5-$6-$7-$8-$9-$10-$11-$12-$13-$14-$15-$16-$17-$18-$19-$20 [E=underscores:Yes]

It doesn't work tho. While it still works on links like this:
- Code: Select all
http://www.mysite.com/communications_test.html
It does not work on links like this:
- Code: Select all
http://www.mysite.com/ccp1215_dynatel_965dsp_a_subscriber_loop_test_set_965dsp_a_965dsp_a.html
I just get a 404. and this link is in the address bar:
- Code: Select all
http://www.mysite.com/ccp1215-dynatel-965dsp-a-subscriber-loop-test-set-965dsp-ccp12150-ccp12151-ccp12152
So, is there a limit to how many redirects I can do, or did I screw something up in the code? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!
