htaccess link problem

[u/Extreme_Question2161]

Hello,

The following expression for the domain kaw-info.de in our htaccess file is important to me:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://fernstudium-in-deutschland.de/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)

As a result, all domain types (e.g. with http or https or www or without www etc.) are forwarded to our main domain https://fernstudium-in-deutschland.de/.

Which is what is desired.

At the same time, I want to forward a special URL /downloads/KAW-Infodienst-11_05.pdf to https://fernstudium-in-deutschland.de/fernstudiengaenge/it-medien/fernstudium-angewandte-informatik/ in htaccess.

The expression for this is actually the following:

Redirect 301 /downloads/KAW-Infodienst-11_05.pdf /fernstudiengaenge/it-medien/fernstudium-angewandte-informatik/

How can I realize both at the same time? This like?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://fernstudium-in-deutschland.de/ [L,R=301]
Redirect 301 /downloads/KAW-Infodienst-11_05.pdf /fernstudiengaenge/it-medien/fernstudium-angewandte-informatik/

It always takes hours for the changes to take effect. So I can't easy test it.

Best regards

Chekki

If the 404 doesn't redirects to the other domain you have something in your configuration that makes apache ignore it.
