Old phpBB (forum trashed) – old session ID’s wont redirect

is it in a redirect loop or just going to error pages?

I know this is not what you want to do, but I just use a generic htacess line for all unexplained 404 errors

ErrorDocument 404 http://gamingonlinefree.com/

(in fact, I have lots of sites and send all 404’s to one favorite)

try this one…
if it doesnt work ill play on my server till i get it

I tried this and it worked on some of the URL’s contained within “games-forum” folder and recursively down from that, except those with sid’s ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/games-forum/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.net.au [R=301,L]
[/CODE]

think I’ll go chase this up on a forum which specifically deals with this stuff. Thanks for your help [COLOR=#0000ff]allfreechips[/COLOR] and everyone else too

Cheers

Thought I’d update just in case anyone else finds themselves having drama figuring out a working 301 redirect on SID variables.

I gave up trying to do this with htaccess. I contacted my server management guys and was given the following small piece of php code which I added to the first line of my header (WP).

[PHP]

if($_GET != “” || $_GET!= “” ){

header(“Location:http://www.mydomain.com”);

}

[/PHP]

It checks for any file call which contains “p” then variables (in my case the old phpbb session ID) and serves the home page, You could do this for any url if needed.

Cheers

Thanks for posting that up Dave.
