Too many redirects in [removed]

Question

I want to make a redirect 301 from an old ulr to a new url.

old url: /php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework

new url: http

Answer 1

It looks like both URI's are on the same host (www.demo31.com), so when you use RedirectMatch, the part of the URI that matches is part of the redirect. Example

If I go to:

http://www.demo31.com/php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework

1. The URI is /php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework

2. The RedirectMatch directive matches the URI, redirects to:

   http://www.demo31.com/blog/php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework
   

3. new URI is /blog/php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework
4. however, the RedirectMatch directive matches the URI again since it contaings /php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework

Try changing RedirectMatch to just Redirect. Or if you only want that specific URI to redirect (as opposed to something like /php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework/some/other/stuff also getting redirected, add a few delimiters:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework$   http://www.demo31.com/blog/php/zend-framework/captcha-codigo-anti-spam-zend-framework

(the ^ and $
