Redirector do not seems to work on Vanilla 3.3

P3ter · March 2021

Hello,

My Vanilla 3.3 instance at https://forum.pluxml.org was imported from a punBB forum. The Redirector 1.3 plugin is activated but don't seems to work.

This punBB URL : https://forum.pluxml.org/viewtopic.php?id=4532

Is not redirected to : https://forum.pluxml.org/discussion/4532

And I don't see why.

Note that you don't need the redirector plugin. Just visit /dashboard/routes and add a route:

viewtopic.php\?id=(.*)
discussion/$1
Permanent (301)

Hi, thanks for your help. I tried both solution without success. I also try to add a redirect rule directly in the apache virtualhost, and in the .htaccess but I still get a 404 on a the punBB URL.

Here is the .htaccess (I use the Vanilla default one)

# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    ####
    # Certain hosts may require the following line.
    # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
    # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
    ####
    #RewriteBase /

    # Make sure that / doesn't try to go to index.php without a rewrite :)
    DirectoryIndex disabled

    ####
    # Deny access to certain directories that SHOULD NOT be exposed.
    ####
    RewriteRule (^|/)\.git - [L,R=403]
    RewriteRule ^cache/ - [L,R=403]
    RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/ - [L,R=403]
    RewriteRule ^uploads/import/ - [L,R=403]
    RewriteRule ^vendor/ - [L,R=403]

    ####
    # Prevent access to any php script by redirecting the request to /index.php
    # You can add an exception by adding another RewriteCond after this one.
    # Example: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/yourscriptname.php$
    # You can comment out this section if it causes you problems.
    # This is just a nice to have for security purposes.
    ####
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php$
    RewriteRule (.+\.php) [E=X_REWRITE:1,E=X_PATH_INFO:/$1,L]

    ####
    # Redirect any non existing file/directory to /index.php
    ####
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule (.*) index.php [E=X_REWRITE:1,E=X_PATH_INFO:/$1,L]

    ####
    # Add the proper X_REWRITE server variable for rewritten requests.
    ####
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_X_REWRITE} .+
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_X_PATH_INFO} (.+)
    RewriteRule ^index\.php - [E=X_REWRITE:1,E=!REDIRECT_X_REWRITE,E=X_PATH_INFO:%1,E=!REDIRECT_X_PATH_INFO,L]
    
    <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
        ####
        # Pass Authorization header to php environment variable to support API authentication
        ####
        SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
   <FilesMatch "(?<!embed)\.(css|js|woff|ttf|eot|svg|png|gif|jpeg|jpg|ico|swf)$">
      Header set Cache-Control "max-age=315360000"
      Header set Expires "31 December 2037 23:59:59 GMT"
   </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

And the route from the dashboard :
