.htaccess redirect

[driveflexfuel]

This is an example of our old dynaimc product URL:
http://www.site.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=cm028-ak47-airsoft&Category_Code=&Store_Code=R

we are now using static pages

We need htaccess to reconize the product code which is cm028-ak47-airsoft then smiply redirct with 301 to the new static page which is http://www.site.com/cm028-ak47-airsoft.html

any help is greatly appreciated


Is this something that can be edited to work

# Enable mod_rewrite, start rewrite engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
# Internally rewrite search engine friendly static URL to dynamic filepath and query
RewriteRule ^product/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?product=$1&color=$2&size=$3&texture=$4&m aker=$5 [L]
#
# Externally redirect client requests for old dynamic URLs to equivalent new static URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?product=([^&]+)&color=([^&]+)&size=([^&]+)&texture=([^&]+)&maker=([^\ ]+)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/product/%1/%2/%3/%4/%5? [R=301,L]

I haven't tested it, but I think something like this should work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Merchant2/merchant\.mvc\?(.*&)?Product_Code=([^&]+)(&.*)? /$2.html [R=301,L]

[descalzo]

RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_URI}  ^/Merchant2/merchant.mvc
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Product_Code=([^&]*)
RewriteRule  .*  /%1.html? [R=301,L]

Note: This does not test that you have a product file for the Product Code.

RewriteRules don't match against the query string. You'll need to use a RewriteCond:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)Product_Code=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^/?Merchant2/merchant\.mvc /%1.html [R=301]

Depending on how exactly the site is arranged, you might need to remove the leading slash from the replacement string.

I'm assuming when you say "We need htaccess to reconize the product code which is cm028-ak47-airsoft", the "cm028-ak47-airsoft" is merely an example and you want the rewrite to work with any product code (you might want to work on your writing clarity).

When you're posting code or configuration, use one of the [CODE], [PHP] or [HTML] tags to separate it from the rest of the post, as marshian and I have done. It makes it much easier to read.
