joomla - SEO settings and mod_rewrite
- by Stefano
Hi
I'm using Joomla 1.5.14 and I configured SEO as in the following image
Now I need to map a few old URL to the new site
let's say that I need to map htp://mysite/old.html to the new Joomla page
http://mysite/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&Itemid=70
I added in my .htaccess file the following
RewriteRule ^old\.html$ index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=32&Itemid=70 #works!!
this works fine, but if I use the SEF URL in .htaccess (let's say the above page can be reached with htp://mysite/contacts.html), I obtain a 404 error
RewriteRule ^old\.html$ contacts.html #this does not work
Now the question:
Is it possible use SEF URLs in RewriteRule? where am I wrong?
thank you in advance
