Redirect from an old folder to a new one, Problem was created by danpoole
Hi, I can't get my head around this.

I want to redirect this page

www.calxa.com.au/support-notes/kb/before-you-begin

To this page

223.130.27.39/~calxacom/help-center/item/before-you-begin

and only swap around the support-notes/kb with help-center/item.

Naturally the 223.130.27.39/~calxacom is only a testing server but does that matter? The base path on the testing server is public_html and I am using the Joomla SEF URLs on the testing (To URL) site. The other site (From URL) is Joomla 1.5 and using the JoomSEF component

I am trying to use this...
From URL: ^/category/oldfolder/
To URL: {scheme}://{siteurl}/category/newfolder/{pathltrim /category/oldfolder/}{queryfull}
Request only: true (checked}

but my version is this...
^/support-notes/kb/
{scheme}://{siteurl}/help-center/item/{pathltrim /support-notes/kb/}{queryfull}

Can you please let me know where I am going wrong.

I have been playing with this for the last few hours and this is simply what I am trying to do.

From URL: www.calxa.com.au/support-notes/kb/before-you-begin
To URL: 223.130.27.39/~calxacom/help-center/item/before-you-begin

This address '223.130.27.39/~calxacom' soon be 'www.calxa.com.au' but all I need to do is replace '/support-notes/kb/' with '/help-center/item/' and keep the 'before-you-begin' on the end, the 'before-you-begin' is also the variable and will change.

I hate problem solving at 2:35am :S

Hi,
first I am not sure what you are trying to do, because ReDJ should be installed on the source site (From URL), and it seems strange you need a redirect versus a work in progress site. Anyway assuming that ReDJ is on the www.calxa.com.au/ site, you can create a rule as follow:
From URL: ^/support-notes/kb/
To URL: http://223.130.27.39/~calxacom/help-center/item/{pathltrim /support-notes/kb/}{queryfull}
Request only: true

On the target you cannot use {scheme} and {siteurl} because your destination is on a different server/domain.

Kind regards,
Luigi
