redirect categories and products using .htaccess

[sheepiedog]

I am re-categorizing my store and would like to use .htaccess to redirect the removed pages

 

In my .htaccess I am using this line

 

Redirect 301 /index.php?cPath=104_105 http://www.dogshoppe.net/index.php?cPath=102

 

and it doesnt work. I have other lines in my htaccess from before oscommerce and redirected my .html pages to the oscommerce pages with no problem.

 

Can anyone help me out on why this isnt working and what it should read ?

I'm having the same problem - i guess the 'redirect' in .htaccess cant handle the '?cpath=x'.....

 

No idea - anyone that can help or knows?

Am searching google now - but no results (besides this post here :P)

 

Kind Regards,

Tom

Maybe we need to first rewrite the url's so we dont have them with the '?' and '='

but 'mod_rewrite' looks like above my skilllevel. :s

 

But as i understand it - i think you can do it with :

 

rewriting the url ( ex. /index.php?cPath=104_105 ) to something like /index.php/cpath/104-105 and then REDIRECT that latest url to the one you need.. not sure if that works - gonna have to search on that 'rewriting' some more :s
