Hi,

i found out a bit about mod_rewrite and use it like this now:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/oldfile.php.*$
http://www.domain.tld/category/subcategory/newfile.html

Very usefull, but I have another problem, that I can't solve.

I have to redirect all possible wrong categories and subcategories to
just the allowed one's.

That means, this

http://www.domain.tld/wrong_category...1/newfile.html

or this

http://www.domain.tld/wrong_category...2/newfile.html

or what ever is given at the first and the second directory(path/folder)
always has to be like this

http://www.domain.tld/my_category/my_subcategory/

I do not have to care about things after the last '/'. This is solved
through the content management system. But if someone enters something
wrong within the first two categories the cms crashs.

RedirectMatch permanent ^/*/*/$
http://www.domain.tld/my_category/my_subcategory/

That doesn't work.

Why don't you process that in the php page?

I don't know how to do it with php either. Anyway. I am actually
using the .htaccess redirects for old pages. Isn't it more comfortable?
