I use Mediawiki on my site’s subdomain (viki). I changed my url structure.
Old url structure: http://viki.gameofthronestr.com/index.php/Lannister_Hanesi
New url structure: http://viki.gameofthronestr.com/Lannister_Hanesi
I just deleted “/index.php/” from url.
I want to redirect old urls to news on .htaccess. (I use Apache) How i redirect old URL to new?
I tried that but doesnt work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^viki/(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^viki/*$ /index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^viki$ /index.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

I do not believe that the MediaWiki one-click image has the Apache rewrite module enabled by default so there are a couple changes that are needed to have apache use a redirect setup configured in an .htaccess file.
1.) Enable the module with the command
2.) In your virtualhost configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled find the “AllowOverride” setting for your main directory and change “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All”, this allows configuration variables in your .htaccess file to override your virutalhost defaults.
3.) Restart apache for the changes to take effect with the command:
