Description of my issue:
I've created a website redesign for my client and I thought I would maintain his page rankings by creating URL Redirects. His old site is a Joomla 1.0 on flexi and the new is 2.5.8 on Zoo.
The old page: http://www.richardmcbee.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=10
The new page (once I point the DNS): /index.php/writings/jewish-art-primer/item/a-jewish-art-primer-part-1 (right now it's on a subdomain of my site: http://rmb.artisanwebandprint.com)
The image in URL redirection:
Now, when I enter the "new url" at the end of my subdomain: http://rmb.artisanwebandprint.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=10 I get this: http://rmb.artisanwebandprint.com/index.php/writings/jewish-art-primer/item/a-jewish-art-primer-part-1?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=10
So it combines the two urls, the new and existing. I opened up the .htaccess.admintools to see how the 301 redirect is written but I don't see it in the htaccess file. This leads me to think you're using a php redirect. Is this happening because of the subdomain? Should I just write it into the htaccess file with a 301?
Thanks,
Dawn
