Help. I have an htaccess challenge!....is their htaccess GOD out there?....Has anyone ever needed an advanced 301 redirect with exclusions?
I have a unique situation and been reading about htaccess 301 redirects and can't find the correct coding for my situation.
Here's my Problem - we're splitting up our store and moving all products except our gift certificate skus (10) (from www.lepetitspa.ca (http://www.lepetitspa.ca)) over to a
new domain (www.spaboutique.ca (http://www.spaboutique.ca)) and to also a different server.
Both stores need to be active so I can't do a domain redirect.
Store has about 750 skus with multiple categories assigned to each sku, so individual redirect is too cumbersome and would take forever for all the scenerios.(ie category screen, product under categories and ind prod screens)
Because the search engines have been indexing our category screen and certain products under some categories, I need a catchall for all 3 scenerios.
Is their a way to use wild cards and redirect the bulk of the screens(not the whole store) with exceptions?
For example:
Redirect all these categories (except 1 category named "CERT" see exceptions below "b")
Redirect all products under these categories (except products under 1 category named "CERT" - see exceptions below "c")
Redirect all products (except 10 products screens - see exceptions below "d" )?
Here's the scenerio of our site:
Categories: (we have 161 different categories)
http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=CTGY&Category_Code=Gifts (http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=CTGY&Category_Code=Gifts)
Individual products under the categories (we have 161 different categories and the products are assigned to multiple categories)?
http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=PROD&Product_Code=Giftwrap&Category_Code=Gifts (http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=PROD&Product_Code=Giftwrap&Category_Code=Gifts)
Individual products screens (we have around 750 individual skus)
http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=PROD&Product_Code=Giftwrap (http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvcScreen=PROD&Product_Code=Giftwrap)
WE NEED TO EXCLUDE the following from above as these are staying on the original domain store:
a) Can't redirect storefront, store screens, customer screens etc...:
http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvc (http://www.lepetitspa.ca/Merchant2/merchant.mvc)
b) Can't redirect this category :
