[removed] in .htaccess causes 500 server error (Redirect to non-URL)

Question

have such kind of error.

When adding Redirect 301 rule to .htaccess file like:

Redirect 301 \"/page1.html\" \"/dir1/\"


        

Answer 1

Changed all Redirect 301 rules to:

RewriteRule ^/page1.html$ /dir1/page.html [R=301,L]

now working. But how does it work on production?

Answer 2

I had same issue, for me this didn't work as well:

RewriteRule ^/page1.html$ /dir1/page.html [R=301,L]

What worked for me is to remove the leading slash, and add soft tailing slash with ?, like this:

RewriteRule ^(page1.html)/?$ dir1/page.html [R=301,L]

Answer 3

Please try this, it's working as expected.

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  Redirect 301 /our_clients/nike /project/nike-nofyme-campaigns
 </IfModule>

Answer 4

For me, I had the exact same issue. Adding "http://domain.com" in front of "/mypage" worked; I am still testing to get it to work without, as is does on my production server. So my .htaccess on my local testing environment, went like this:

BROKEN: Redirect 301 /mypage /directory1/sub-directory/mypage/

FIXED: Redirect 301 http://mydomain.com/mypage http://mydomain.com/directory1/sub-directory/mypage/
