Hi,

Im struggling to get this to work, if the source URL ends in .aspx

Any ideas?


eg,
www.hambledigital.co.uk/eeh/test.aspx will not redirect, where as
www.hambledigital.co.uk/eeh/test.php will redirect fine!!

I urgently need to finish developing this website to replace the existing aspx site, and ofcourse, I want the old links to be redirected!


All existing URLS are in this style:
/england-english/default.aspx and need to be redirected to a joomla SEF URL eg
http://{siteurl}/england-and-the-english

If there is a workaround, such as /england-english/** please let me know!

Kind Regards
Gareth

Hi Gareth,
the problem is that the error page you receive with .aspx URLs is generated by Apache, and not by Joomla. Here is an example of a Joomla generated page:

www.hambledigital.co.uk/eeh/sistemistica.php

So, for these cases there's no way for ReDJ to work, because the request doesn't arrive to Joomla at all.

You should check your Apache settings to solve this. A fast solution could be to add into .htaccess file this line at the end:

ErrorDocument 404 /

In this way you are telling to Apache to send errors 404 to Joomla.

Let me know if you need more help.

Luigi

Thanks Luigi,

Adding ErrorDocument 404 / to .htaccess did make the file come up with a 404 error but not make ReDJ kick in.


However, I then found a fix...

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.aspx|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]


I added .aspx into the line above in .htaccess, which seems to fix the issue!! Maybe this should be documented as a fix for people with same issue?

Thanks for your useful software, once I get paid for the site I will donate some money!

I'm happy to hear it works.

Remember that with a single ReDJ item you can redirect a lot of old URLs. So, please, take a look at ReDJ tutorial for some example (available in download section).

If you need help with redirect, let me know.

Enjoy ReDJ,
Luigi
