Apache redirect failing

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a redirect on apache with this entry:

Redirectpermanent / domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM&cid=1237920959562&empr=Opcom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2

Code (markup):

the URL called is

[B]pp.some.domain.co.uk/[/B][I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]

Code (markup):

however each time I hit this url I get redirected to

domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM&cid=1237920959562&empr=Opcom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2[I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]

Code (markup):

so I guess it's adding the old URL to the new one at the end

looking around, I've found that maybe a redirect match might do the trick so

RedirectMatch 301 / domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM&cid=1237920959562&empr=Opcom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2

Code (markup):

but then on my browser I get

domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM[I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]cid=1237920959562[I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]empr=Opcom[I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]leng=en_GB[I]APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2[/I]pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2

Code (markup):

which is the old parameters added to the URL on each &

this is very strange, it should be redirecting

pp.some.domain.co.uk/APP_ENS/BtoChannelDriver.ssobto?dse_operationName=StartL2

Code (markup):

to

domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM&cid=1237920959562&empr=Opcom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2

Code (markup):

can anyone give me a hand?

 

for all of you may have the same issue

i peep around forum and found this entry:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
domain.co.uk/csgs/Satellite?appID=op.dom.domcom&channel=COPCOM&cid=1237920959562&empr=Opcom&leng=en_GB&pagename=Opcom%2FPage%2FWC_ACOM_TemplateW2 [R]

Code (markup):

this works for me
