What's The Easiest Way To Create A Direct Link In The Sidebox?

[DK_Scully]

I tried that yesterday...it didn't work, either.

I even tried changing the path so it says /zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=343 http://www.book-oasis.com since the zencart program is in a folder. Nothing works.

...#1, it does not look like apache is processing the .htaccess file.

your filename could be wrong. you could have it in the wrong place.

your redirects will not work if apache is not reading the file.

you need to ensure that apache is reading the file prior to figuring out the redirects. hostgator should be able to help you with that.

good luck!

The .htaccess file is in the www.carnal-pleasures.com/ root directory. Hostgator's hosting is pretty good, but their tech support can't find their way out of a wet paper bag with both hands and a road map. I gave up on asking them for help years ago.

I'm trying to get http://www.carnal-pleasures.com/zenc...ndex&cPath=343 to redirect to http://www.book-oasis.com. And I copied it directly from the page. The redirect box cut it off at http://www.carnal-pleasures.com/zencart/index.php instead of taking the complete url.

 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^www\.carnal-pleasures\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^main_page=index&cPath=343$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^zencart/index\.php$ http://www.book-oasis.com/? [R=301,NE,NC,L]

This *should* also work.

Redirect 302 /zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=343 http://www.book-oasis.com

I'm trying to get http://www.carnal-pleasures.com/zenc...ndex&cPath=343 to redirect to http://www.book-oasis.com.

Add the following at the top of the .htaccess file for carnal-pleasures.com, removing any duplication further down in the file.

#############################
##  General Settings

# Some basic protection provided by Apache
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch -FollowSymlinks -Indexes

# Define the default Character Set for Browsers
AddDefaultCharset utf-8

RewriteEngine ON


#############################
##  Rewrites

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} cPath=343
RewriteRule .? http://www.book-oasis.com/ [R=301,QSD,L]

Note that any URL having cPath=343 within it will be redirected.
