but it is redirecting like

 http://www.abc-old.com/test1/test2 to http://www.abc-new.com/test1/test2

below is my code for same

Redirect 301 /test1/test2 http://www.abc-new.com/test1

Please help me to sort out this

Answer 1

Hie Some how i solved it but still confuse why this thing happned ?

for example I have 3 URL

http://www.old.com/test1/
http://www.old.com/test1/test2
http://www.old.com/test1/test2/test3

I have created 301 redirects in .htaccess like

Redirect 301 /test1/ http://www.new.com/test1
Redirect 301 /test1/test2/ http://www.new.com/test2
Redirect 301 /test1/test2/test3 http://www.new.com/test3

in this case

while i was requesting

http://www.old.com/test1/ is redirected to http://www.new.com/test1

while

http://www.old.com/test1/test2 is redirected to http://www.new.com/test1/test2/

in this case while server execute .htaccess , instead of my second url redirection first was working and additional parameter passing test2 so it new redirect was http://www.new.com/test1/test2

I have write code like this

Redirect 301 /test1/test2/test3 http://www.new.com/test3
Redirect 301 /test1/test2/ http://www.new.com/test2
Redirect 301 /test1/ http://www.new.com/test1

and it started working. i really don't understand why my first code is not working, I have used wordpress CMS , is there any cofiguration required ?

You can use this rule in old host's root .htaccess:

RedirectMatch 301 "/test1/test2(/.*)?$ http://www.abc-new.com/test1$1

Answer 3

If your .htaccess file looks like / or the httpd.conf contains this it should work.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /test1/test2 http://www.abc-new.com/test1
