livibetter: You are right. I reversed the modifications after testing. They are in place now. A side note, if the directory ‘youcantfindme’ does not exist then http://make2for1.com/redir returns:

“Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.”

And shows http://make2for1.com/youcantfindme in the address field of the browser. If I create the directory ‘youcantfindme’ and put an index file in there then http://make2for1.com/redir does indeed show the index file and the address changes to http://make2for1.com/youcantfindme.

The debug test shows the following:

—-

http://make2for1.com/forum.php?id=1

REQUEST_URI: string(15) “/forum.php?id=1”

should be: string(14) “/forum/general”

full permalink: string(38) “http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general”

PATH_INFO: string(10) “/forum.php”

---

http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general

Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

[That was with the RewriteRule redir youcantfindme [R=301,L] .htaccess]

---

http://www.make2for1.com/forum/general

[with the actual .htaccess generated with http://make2for1.com/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php%5D

also

Error 404 – Not found

Your browser can’t find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

I have returned the .htaccess back to

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule redir youcantfindme [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

so you can see the http://make2for1.com/redir work

If anyone wants to play with this, I’ll happily setup an ftp account. Email juggler@gmail.com

I have left the changes in place.

Thanks.
