[solved] redirect 301 throws 500
In the new imca site I have 2 articles which are live but I only want them to appear on their sections and the search results.
The problem is with the search results where the articles appear with their urls. What I am trying to do is to rewrite their individual urls to the section ones.
I have tried
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^/about/about-the-imca$ /about/
#RewriteRule ^/workshops/workshops$ /workshops/which did not work
and
#Redirect 301 /about/about-the-imca /about/
#Redirect 301 /workshops/workshops /workshops/which returns a 500 error
Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: [solved] redirect 301 throws 500
The trick/workaround is to do the forced redirect when the individual article is called
I used this code for this article
Edit: I assume that your section landing page is a list.
<txp:if_individual_article>
<notextile>
<txp:php>
txp_status_header('301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://sankt-georg.info/artikel/777/strassenfest-lange-reihe-bunte-lange-reihe-hamburg-st.-georg ');
exit;
</txp:php>
</notextile>
</txp:if_individual_article>Edit II.: Oh man, reading the old thread reminds me of the headache (& time consumption) I had when I tried to solve that redirect issue. Maybe you should read the thread too and thank wet on knees for the laconic help he has to offer from time to time :)

That did it! I honestly don’t remember that thread. Thanks sooo much Markus. And kudos goes to Robert for the code of course:)

I also had to search for the solution. Luckily I bookmarked the link as a tip inside my own site :)
Maybe you find the time to write a TXP wiki FAQ entry?

Hi markus
although i’m yet to contribute to the wiki, this might be a good opportunity to do so.

Good that your problem is solved. But I notice a possible syntax issue in your .htaccess.
I would I have tried
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^about\/about-the-imca$ /about/
#RewriteRule ^workshops\/workshops$ /workshops/(without / after ^, and with \ to escape remaining /)

Hi Claire
The php method works but I thought i’ll try your suggestion anyway and although it does not return a 500 it does not seem to work either
also tried
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\/about\/about-the-imca$ /about/
RewriteRule ^\/workshops\/workshops$ /workshops/again with the same non results.

Re: [solved] redirect 301 throws 500
Hi Yiannis,
Claire’s suggestion seems correct to me, particularly the one about not using / after the beginning (^) of the line. I’ve read that several times in .htaccess documentation and tutorials.
Regarding escaping other / in the pattern, it may help, but definitely it’s not required, as I’ve several un-escaped / on my rewrite rules.
Finally, I’ll appreciate if you could try this version, to see if it works.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about/about-the-imca$ /about/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^workshops/workshops$ /workshops/ [R=301,L]The [R=301,L] flags are required for external rewrites (aka redirects). If not, I understand that you are just doing an internal rewrite.

The flags … of course … I’m so sorry.
Thanks Julián.
