On the old MPSounds site SoundPacks were linked to like

www.mpsounds.net/?id=pack&id2=342,

but now they are like

www.mpsounds.net/soundpack.php?id=342


There seems to be quite a few links to the old soundpack style so I am getting a lot of 404 errors in my logs.

I'm trying to add a Mod_Rewrite rule, but so far with no luck, just wondering if anyone can help?

This is what I've tried:

code:

---

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^\?id=pack&id2=([0-9]+)$ soundpack.php?id=$1 [R]

---

Try this out:

code:

---

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /?id=pack&id2=(.*)$ /soundpack.php?id=$1 [R=301,L]

---

I'm not sure if it works .

Na still doesnt wanna work

code:

---

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=pack&id2=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /soundpack.php [R]

---

Is a lot closer but still not close enough I'm afraid.  You can't match a query string question mark by using \? it treats it as a literal question mark in the file name.

You could just redirect using php could you not?

oh ok, thanks for the help    

I could just do it using php yea, but mod_rewrite would have been my preferred method as the index.php is now the MyBB portal page, meaning I'd have to update it everytime I update MyBB.

Well, at least with that one I gave you you could redirect using the php in soundpack.php

But I'll see if I can dig up something better, it must be possible.


EDIT:  I got it!

code:

---

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=pack&id2=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /soundpack.php?id=%1 [R,NE]
