    Hi Guys,

    I am facing a problem in redirecting a old url to new url.

    For eg.

    I want to redirect

    http://olddomain.com/ and http://olddomain/(query param)

    to

    http://www.newdomain.com/ and http://www.newdomain.com/(query param)

    So what I was doing

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    It works for http://olddomain.com and it redirects to http://www.newdomain.com but when there is query string it doesn't take to the right url.

    so http://olddomain/(query param) doesn't redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/(query param).I guess there is something with (.*).Do I need to put it at the end as well but not sure where to put.

    I am really lost.Please suggest.

    Thanks in advance.

    Raj

    This is strange. If you don't append something new, then the original query is passed through by default.
    What is the redirect target of http://olddomain/(query param)?
