htaccess for several things

Alright so currently I have my .htaccess file set up for vbseo sitemap, I have it set as unreadable, and I have it redirect the old Zoints tags system to the new built-in tags system.

However, I have two problems. One, I want to redirect site.com to www.site.com.

The other problem is that .com is PR 2 and .com/index.php is PR 1. I'm assuming I should set a redirect from index.php to the plain .com but I'm not sure how to do that.

I saw this code for the www issue in another thread:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www\.example\.com [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

And here is my current .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]



<Files .htaccess>

order allow,deny

deny from all

</Files>



Redirect /tags/ http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php

Can anybody help me add the redirect to www and help me decide if I should direct to index.php or plain .com and how to do that?

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm sorry, this probably should have gone in the programming section, could a mod please move it? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the help. One last question, how (and should I) would I redirect .com/index.php to .com?

For some reason PR on just the .com is 2, while /index.php is 1. I'm not sure if this is a big deal or not, so maybe I don't need to do it at all.

Don't worry about it IMO.

Sounds good, thanks again for all the help and the quick responses.

So I tried using that redirect, replacing example with my website name, but I got an error in firefox that the redirect will "never complete".

I'm wondering if I didn't put in the information correctly, or if there's something wrong with the coding that I took from somewhere else.

Redirect /tags/ http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php

Thank you again.

I have one final question (I know, lots of questions).

I thought I had my old tags redirecting properly, but google webmaster tools has a bunch of not found urls, 509 to be exact.

They all look like this:

http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...-time-through/
http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...2-nominations/
http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...08-graduation/

etc....

Once those links are clicked, they "change":

http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/...08-graduation/

like so. So /tags/ isn't redirecting them. I tried a /tags. but that didn't work.

It almost seems like the /tags/ redirect is redirecting them but there's a problem. Instead of just redirecting them to the main tags area, it's appending whatever comes after the /tags/ to the redirect location (in this case /tags.php) so I end up with /tags.index.php/*******

I'm guessing my redirect is improperly formed, I hope this makes sense. I've tried a number of permutations but basically I just want any /tags to redirect to http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php without appending whatever else was on the link to the end of it.

As always, I really appreciate it, I don't know what I'd do without this forum.

Can you give me a "before and after" of the link (of what it is supposed to look like).

Not found URL:

[not url]http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags/index.php/1st-time-through/[/url]

These are all (I'm assuming) leftovers of the Zoints tag system. I used one of the mods here to import them all to the vB tags system, but google still has some of the links.

I wanted to redirect to:

[not url]http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php/[/url]

As I think this makes the most sense, if someone is searching for tags to begin with this seems like a good place to send them.

My current .htaccess redirect is:

Code:

#redirecting old zoints tags to vb tags

Redirect /tags http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php/

The trouble is this makes the links look as such:

[not url]http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/tags.php//index.php/1st-time-through/[/url]

So it's appending what comes after (/index.php/1st-time-through/) to the redirect location.

I've tried several wildcard redirects that I found through google searching, but all of them give me errors and don't work. I don't understand redirects very well though.

As always, I appreciate the help. :)
