need help with htaccess

i need to create a redirect to a non existing page.

here is my code and the site is on shared hosting

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index2\.php#!(.*)$ /index2\.php/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

this would be my url ttp://sub.domain.com/index2.php#!time/
i would like to redirect avery request with "#!string" to new url (same page) - ttp://sub.domain.com/index2.php/time/

i know that the code above needs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
to be added but it doesnt even makes the redirect to 404. the url doesnt change.

thanks

 

I am not to sure you will actually need a RewriteCond. If you just want it to redirect it should be fairly simple. I am going to test a few things and get back to you and see.

 

Waiting, thanks.

 

I would think you should be able to do it simply similar to this example I found.

RewriteRule    ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$    get_product_by_name.php?category_name=$1&product_name=$2    [NC,L]

Code (markup):

The pattern in the first part, then where to send it in the second part and of course with a 301 at the end. Or I suppose a RewriteCond can work as well with something like this example.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old_domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Code (markup):

If you are getting 404 errors, something is screwy with the way it was written in the htaccess file. I know its not the best help, but keeping it as simple as possible is probably the best way to go about it.

 

well, it looks tome me exaclty like what i have been doing. where does it differ?

 

Try this maybe.

RewriteRule ^index2\.php#!(.*)   /$1  [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

still nothing

 

I may be missing something small.... did you try both of the ways below? I think the simplicity is on the right track though and may just have to wait until someone else takes a look to clean it up.

RewriteRule ^index2\.php#!(.*)    /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index2\.php#!(.*)$   /$1 [R=301,L]

Code (markup):

 

still, the url doesnt change
