Sadly I do not understand how to setup "simple"... was created by webguy
Sorry for this post, but I am just not understanding how to setup "Simple" redirects.

I have an old asp site, I want to redirect certain addresses based on the folder the pages lived in like...

www.xxx.com.au/discussion_forums/
to
www.xxx.com.au/index.php/forum/index.html

And so on, I have about 10 such redirects I need to setup.

Basically, it does not matter what came after the folder/ part, if they were in that folder, I'll send them to a single redirect url.

Cheers

Hi,
do not worry, I'm here to help you. Try this rule:
From URL: ^/discussion_forums/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/index.php/forum/index.html
Request only: true (checked)

The ^ means "start with" and when refered to "request only" will match any URL like:

www.xxx.com.au/discussion_forums/

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi

Thanks, I tried that...

Then tried to go to one of the old main pages...

www.xxx.com.au/discussion_forums/active.asp

I just get a generic: The requested URL /discussion_forums/active.asp was not found on this server.

The plugin is active.
Case sensitive is: off
Request Only: On
Decode: off

The error page that you get comes from Apache. To allow Joomla (and ReDJ) to manage these URLs you should say to Apache to pass errors to Joomla. To do this just add this line at the end of your .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 404 /

If you do not have .htaccess just copy htaccess.txt from Joomla and rename it to ".htaccess".

Thanks heaps, that did it, tomorrow I will configure the other rules I need, but this one will take care of 99% of the errors.
