Description of my issue:

Swapped my website over from J1.5 to J2.5 a couple of weeks ago.

We have SSL on the site and wasnt configured properly when the site went live and now Google has got hold of 2 links (probably our 2 most important) and has them recorded as https://www.mysite.com/link1 instead of normal HTTP:// links.

I have researched how to get rid of these via google and other sources from around the web & as they are not needed as https links and a  301 redirect seems the safest option.

I have tried to set this up in AT URL Redirection, but this doesnt seem to work.

Will the URL redirection tool in AT only handle redirects after the mysite.com/ ?

I also use SH404SEF and can't set up a 301 Alias there either.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

Thanks Nic!

I thought so but wanted to check with you. I also appreciate the .htaccess stuff is beyond teh support for Admin Tools, so thanks for taking the time to let me knwo that. I'll try it in a while.

I tried some similar .htaccess rules earlier, but they didnt work well - different to yours though. So I'll come back here and let you know if it works in case it helps anyone else out in the future too!

Tried both ways and it didnt work.

Just tried this though and thsi seems to work OK for one of the URLS.

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/category/page
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/category/page [R=301,L]

My code only works for 1 link :o(When 2 are needed the 2nd link redirects to the firts one?

Back to the drawing board!
