SEO URLs and redirects

[2n3055]

Running CC 5.0.7 and SEO friendly links,

How can I redirect this old link:

http://mywebsite.com/cubecart/index.php/test-kits/c_2.html

to this:

http://mywebsite.com/cubecart/test-kits/

I tried many variations of a 301 redirect within htaccess and CPanel but it doesn't seem to work.

Hopefully it's something simple,

Thanks.

We use 301 redirects as such:

http://www.domain.com/products.asp to http://www.domain.com/products.php In your case, it would be:

redirect 301 /products.asp http://www.domain.com/products.php

The above would redirect 

redirect 301 /cubecart/index.php/text-kits/c_2.html http://mywebsite.com/cubecart/test-kits

Thanks for the information very useful @acschnabel

Hi Ryan,

 

I recently upgraded my CC3 to CC5 and added 301 redirect rule as you suggested, but these are not working. can you please look into htaccess below and let me know what I am doing wrong,

 

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>  
 
  RewriteEngine On
 
  redirect 301 /mainspressure/ http://www.hotwatercylinder.co.nz/mains-pressure.html
  redirect 301 solar-/-wetback/superheat/superheat-wetback http://www.hotwatercylinder.co.nz/superheat-nz.html
 
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^hotwatercylinder.co.nz [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) http://www.hotwatercylinder.co.nz/$1 [L]  
 
   ErrorDocument 404 http://www.hotwatercylinder.co.nz/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=28

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to the other. And 301 redirect to send traffic from the other URLs to your preferred URL.
