Hi,

I have 2 different pages that may need URL rewriting but on different condition.

Page 1
I wish to convert
http://www.abc.com/ShowInfo.aspx?ckeyword=motor 

to
http://www.abc.com/motor.html

The expression I use is
RewriteRule (/[^-]+)-([^.]+\.html) $1%20$2 [N,I]
RewriteRule /([^.]+)\.html /ShowInfo.aspx\?ckeyword=$1 [I,L]

Page 2
------
I wish to convert
http://www.abc.com/GetInfo.aspx?ncatID=12
to
http://www.abc.com/GetInfo12.html

The expression I use is
RewriteRule (/[^-]+)-([^.]+\.html) $1%20$2 [N,I]
RewriteRule /([^.]+)\.html /getInfo.aspx\?nCatID=$1 [I,L]

The issue is, I want these rules to work selectively. Right now thye work for rule #1. Can you please suggest me what can I do for them to work based on page names instead?

Thanks,

Hi,

I tried the suggestion and that did not seems to be working. Cant we use some kind of rewrite condition instead of Rewriterule that works only when the URl contains a specific KW, else it jumps to second rule defination. Something like If Endif statements.

Here we have URls in question
http://www.abc.com/Excel74.html
AND
http://www.abc.com/DBHDI.html

which must be rewritten to
http://www.abc.com/?LCID=Excel74
AND
http://www.abc.com?ckeyword=DBHDI

What is required is that helicon must identify and apply rule based on the page name, that is  excel74 and DBHDI. Please note that these can change. Like the next time it can be excel05, excel06, excel07 or ABCDE, abcdf, abcdg or so.

Thanks,


Let me give you the details again

========================
http://www.abc.com/LCID/Excel74.html
and
http://www.abc.com/kw/DBHDI.html.
In this case all possible values could be handled with two simple rules. =================================
Hi,

The above two are two seperate URI's. They represent two different pages (Excel.aspx and outpage.aspx). So finally,

http://www.abc.com/LCID/Excel74.html  should resolve to http://www.abc.com/Excel.aspx?LCID=74

And
http://www.abc.com/kw/DBHDI.html. should resolve to http://www.abc.com/Outpage.aspx?Kw=DBHDI

Thats all what is required. Please suggest.
Thanks

Something strange.

After I tried the suggestions, any URl that has .html in it, does not woeks. But .aspx does works. That is

http://localhost/SEO/DAGHB.html will not work. It returns HTTP 404 - File not found.

But if I try http://localhost/SEO/DAGHB.aspx, that will work.

Following is there in the ini file

RewriteRule (/[^-]+)-([^.]+\.html) $1%20$2 [N,I]
RewriteRule /([^.]+)\.html /seo/outpageecallCenterOnline.aspx\?ckeyword=$1 [I,L]

This had always worked earlier. Any ideas?

Thanks,

No nothing except

# Defend your computer from some worm attacks
RewriteRule .*(?:global.asa|default\.ida|root\.exe|\.\.).* . [F,I,O]

Hi,

Please ignore the previous comment. It seems working now. However the original issue still remains.

I now have the following in my ini file.

RewriteRule /LCID/Excel(\d+)\.html /Excel.aspx\?LCID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /kw/(^./?]+)\.html /outpage.aspx\?Kw=$1 [I,L]

Once again I want to tell you, this does not works. I still get 404 page not found. I am not sure why is it going so complicated. Other then taking time, all my websites are half functional and I may suffer my ranking if I have the search engines visiting back.

Let me tell you the history again so you can think of it and suggest me.

I have a page named outpage.aspx.
I can have the following combinatins for outpage.aspx

1. http://www.abc.com/outpage.aspx

2. http://www.abc.com/abcdef.html
In this case the url must be rewritten as http://www.abc.com/outpage.aspx?ckeyword=abcdef

Then I have another page named excel.aspx. Following are the possible combinations

1.http://www.abc.com/excel.aspx
2.http://www.abc.com/excel21.html
This should be rewritten as http://www.abc.com/excel.aspx?LCID=21

you see, I have no subdirectories. All this happens on the base url itself. The previous rules you gave me have a subfolder there.

RewriteRule /LCID/Excel(\d+)\.html /Excel.aspx\?LCID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /kw/(^./?]+)\.html /outpage.aspx\?Kw=$1 [I,L]

I tried to remove the subfolder and tryied the following too

RewriteRule /Excel(\d+)\.html /Excel.aspx\?LCID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /(^./?]+)\.html /outpage.aspx\?cKeyword=$1 [I,L]

here too I receive 404.

Please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue. Please indicate if you can chat on msn or yahoo messangers so we can fix this issue immediately.

Look forward to your reply,
Good wishes,
