Apologies . I posted this in the older 1.5 support .. it might be better here.

I'm switching to a new server, and no longer using cpg, and having trouble getting redirects from the old cpg galleries and images to work.

For albums and categories that I 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 old cpg albums that 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]

But it does nothing. THe urls from cpg show as 404 pages. 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.

Checking a few things:
-   What web server is being used ?  Apache ?
-   Is this code you want to put in a .htaccess file ?

There are lots of examples available with a Google search such as on this site:
https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215747748-How-can-I-redirect-and-rewrite-my-URLs-with-an-htaccess-file-

Some of the examples are similar to your code.   

There’s a Regex tester here:
https://regex101.com/

…so you could try using the RewriteMatch directive and testing it in the above site.

posted to solve this in the 1.5 misc board. Hopefully that's of some help to folks if they need it.
