Title: Trying to leave coppermine and want to redirect old CPG urls to new site
Post by: Walkinman on January 20, 2023, 02:48:33 am

I'm switching to a new server, and now using cpg, and having trouble getting redirects to work.

For albums and categories that will not redirect, just are gone and no longer exist, I wrote the 410 rule as

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^stock/thumbnails\.php\?album=62$ - [R=410, L]
That breaks the new site and creates a 500 error

For abums I want to redirect to a new url, I wrote

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^stock/thumbnails\.php\?album=36$ https://www.domain.com/gallery/appalachian-trail-photos/ [R=301,L]
Does nothing. I also tried it as

Code: [Select]

Redirect 301 /stock/index.php?cat=2 https://www.domain.com/gallery/outdoor-recreation-photos/
which also does nothing.

I also want to redirect any image display pages to the root gallery of their relative album. So an image from a particular cpg album would go to the gallery page for that on the new site. I wrote

Code: [Select]

RewriteRule ^stock/displayimage\.php\?album=30&.*$ https://www.domain.com/gallery/canadian-wildlife-photos/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^stock/displayimage\.php\?album=32&.*$ - [R=410,L]
to send any image from album 30 to the CA wildlife photos album and any image from album 32 is gone.

None of these last work but I can't see what's wrong with them?

Any help would be superduper appreciated, thanks.
