Could someone tell me how / why is this redirect not working?

$HTTP["host"] =~ ".*\\.mydomain\\.com" { 
    url.redirect = ( 
        "/index\.php\?pg=mysql" => "http://mydomain.com/lean-webhosting/mysql-clustering/",
        "/index\.php\?pg=cloud_uitleg" => "http://mydomain.com/lean-webhosting/cloud-uitleg/" 
    )    
}

Someone any idea? THanks!

You probably need to replace ".*\\.mydomain\\.com" with ".*\.mydomain\.com" and restart lighttpd. If that doesn't help: please explain how the redirect isn't working for you.

  • Thaks for the regexp Asgar. That was indeed one of the problems. I've excluded the index.php part and it worked.

$HTTP["host"] =~ ".*\.muntinternet\.nl" { 
    url.redirect = ( 
        "/\?pg=mysql" => "http://muntinternet.nl/lean-webhosting/mysql-clustering/",
        "/\?pg=cloud_uitleg" => "http://muntinternet.nl/lean-webhosting/cloud-uitleg/" 
    )    
}

I needed to exclude /index\.php

Thanks!

  • Do not forget to accept your answer then. Btw, in the future, add more information in your question instead of just the configuration lines that doesn't work. It would have been interesting here to see which real url you want to redirect to where.

  • Well, I do not want to see real path to your website :) You still can use example.com. But, here we need a real example of url you want to redirect. For example, http://example.com/?pg=mysql So it will be easy to see that your redirect won't work if the rule start with index.php, you see?

  • There is no muntinternet.nl/?pg=mysql. There is muntinternet.nl/index.php?pg=mysql however non of these should be used if redirecting these two specific urls. THe same example as you can see above is used within lighttpd.conf.

  • I think you should remove the first / from "/\?pg=mysql" (and the other line too) then, both muntinternet.nl/index.php?pg=mysql & muntinternet.nl/?pg=mysql will be redirected
