Redirect URL containing .jsp was created by MoBogomips
Our site moved and we needed to redirect the traffic to the new site. Simple redirects are working to the main page but we ran across a problem that has stumped us.

We need to redirect
marlinsgofast.com/EvSignup.jsp?event_id=463763&team=recmsmhmwa
to
teamunify.com/EvSignup.jsp?event_id=463763&team=recmsmhmwa

(Actually we need to redirect anything with EvSignup.jsp in it). Note this page, or any .jsp pages, do not exist on the old site.

From: EvSignup\.jsp\?event_id=463763\&team=recmsmhmwa
To : teamunify.com/EvSignup.jsp?event_id=463763&team=recmsmhmwa

But I get a 404 error from my host. Note that we do not have any jsp pages in our old site.

I also tried a rule

From: Ev*
To : teamunify.com/EvSignup.jsp?event_id=463763&team=recmsmhmwa

That works for most URLs with Ev in them but never works if there's a . in the URL
For example marlinsgofast.com/EvSignup entered into a browser will redirect just fine but marlinsgofast.com/EvSignup.jsp does not

Even marlinsgofast.com/EvSignup. does not work.

I hope I have explained this clearly. I can't seem to get the expression correct in the From: field.

Thank you

The problem is solved after finally understanding the advice given to other posters of modifying .htaccess to include
ErrorDocument 404 /

Hi and sorry for delay.
Yes, your rules are correct and all special chars seem properly escaped, the ErrorDocument is needed to pass ANY error 404 request to Joomla, otherwise it is managed by the web server itself.

The best rule you can create is the following:
From URL: ^/EvSignup\.jsp
Request only: true (checked)

I guess you don't have the EvSignup.jsp page anymore... :)

Kind regards,
Luigi
