: Redirect does not work I tried to redirect a broken link onto my site by redirect : RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$ RewriteRule ^domian_registration.html$ "http://mysite.com/domain_registration.html"

1. Why do you need RewriteCond here that does absolutely nothing?

2. Target URL should be just normal link -- no need to escape all non-alphabet characters like you do ://.

3. That directive requires mod_rewrite module to be enabled on your server.

That's how your rule should look like:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^domian_registration.html$ mysite.com/domain_registration.html [R=301,L]


OR as simple as (although including full domain name in URL is recommended):

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^domian_registration.html$ domain_registration.html [R=301,L]




If you do not have mod_rewrite enabled on your site, you can use this directive instead:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/domian_registration.html$ mysite.com/domain_registration.html



UPDATE: This is an answer for your additional question:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(d+)
RewriteRule ^maghalat.php/isfahan_articles(d+).html$ /articles/isfahan_articles.html? [R=301,L]


This rule will redirect /maghalat.php/isfahan_articles123.html?id=123 to /articles/isfahan_articles123.html.

Considering that source and target URLs are very similar .. and the fact that id in html file name is the same as id= parameter in query string, we can ignore the query string thus making the rule a bit simpler (no real need for RewriteCond line):

RewriteRule ^maghalat.php/isfahan_articles(d+).html$ /articles/isfahan_articles.html? [R=301,L]
