.htaccess yikes!

Hi guys,
Having a bit of trouble getting a htaccess redirect working. It's very easy but I am making a small typo somewhere!
I want to redirect about 400 product pages located at;
http://domain.com/product/product-name
to
http://domain.com/product-name
..basically just dropping /product/
Any help would be appreciated as my errors in Moz are all over the place!

No problem - that's what this community is all about

Looks the good, thanks for all your help.

mod_rewrite and RedirectMatch are two different ways of doing a 301 redirect - both are fine. You can have both inside a htaccess file, however you may want to place the RedirectMatch directive outside of the call for the mod_rewrite module so after

Thanks for this, appears to work fine!
Is it ok sitting at the end?
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RedirectMatch 301 ^/product/(.*)$ http://cdkeyprices.com/$1</ifmodule>END WordPress
#php_flag display_startup_errors on
#php_flag display_errors on
#php_flag html_errors on
#php_value docref_root 0
#php_value docref_ext 0 -
You could use the following RedirectMatch directive in your htaccess file obviously swapping in your actual domain -
RedirectMatch 301 ^/product/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1
-
I'm sure you don't want to rewrite all the pages 1 at a time, try the following to rewrite the entire folder.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.)product
RewriteRule ^(.)$ product/$1 [L] -
Hello MrPenguin,
Your code should look similar to this:
Redirect 301 /product/product-name http://domain.com/product-name

Htaccess redirects
Annoyingly it's time to play with this beast again. I've been given the task of doing the following. Keeping the homepage live Redirecting categories to the specific categories on the new site Catch all redirects Now i've managed to setup the specific categories and the catch all redirects, however I am unsure how to keep the homepage live (which is like this:www.domain.com/ so I can't just exclude that?) Would appreciate any help.

RewriteQueryString and .htaccess usage
I'm trying to redirect a whole load of pages which use a query string to a different directory for example. Original URL: example.com/news/post.php?s=2011-01-28-some-text New URL: example.com/blog/post.php?s=2011-01-28-some-text My understanding is that because the url uses query strings I need to use a rewrite rather than the usual redirect 301 etc. I've come up with this but it is not doing the job. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? RewriteEngine On

.htaccess redirect question
Hi guys and girls Please forgive me for being an apache noob, but I've been trawling for a while now and i can't seem to find a definitive guide for my current scenario. I've walked into a but of a cluster$%*! of a job, to rescue a horribly set up site. One of many, many problems is that they have 132 302redirects set up. Some of these are identical pages but http-https, others are the same but https-http and some are redirects to different content pages with http-http. A uniform redirecting of http to https is not an option so I'm looking to find out the best practice for reconfiguring these 302s to 301s within .htaccess? Thanks in advance 🙂

.htaccess redirects
I've done some research but can't find a good answer to this question. Here's my situation: Site redirects from example.com to www.example.com just fine. However, it doesn't work so well for internal pages. My site incorrectly redirects (non-www) example.com/page2 to www.example.com when it should instead go to www.example.com/page2 So I need a method to redirect non-www internal pages to www versions. Currently I have this in my .htaccess - do I need to modify the rules? RewriteEngine on
