I need to redirect an URL with a variable, eg.
http://www.mydomain.com/foo/55555 should go to http://www.mydomain.com/bar/55555 where 55555 is a variable number.
Do I need to use redirect or rewrite?

1You need a rewrite to handle the variable. You need a redirect if you want users who visit foo, to go to bar.SPRBRN– SPRBRN2015-03-04 09:29:24 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2015 at 9:29

here's a RewriteRule that implements the redirect ([R])
RewriteRule ^/foo/([0-9]*)$ /bar?q=$1 [R]
if you are using .htaccess to add your rewrite rules, you might want to make this local to the /foo directory, so put the following into foo/.htaccess:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)$ /bar&q=$1 [R]

I have insert this rule
RewriteRule http://www.mydomain.com/foo/([0-9]*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/bar?q=$1 [R=301]but don't workstecog– stecog2015-03-04 09:44:37 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2015 at 9:44 -

have you restarted apache? what do your logs say? if you want a decent answer, you need to provide more than "didn't work"...umläute– umläute2015-03-04 09:49:11 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2015 at 9:49

@hellb0y77 btw, why do you suddenly change the rewrite rule to a different target?umläute– umläute2015-03-04 09:55:45 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2015 at 9:55
