Moodle Redirect

Hello. My goal is to redirect a course url, but I am having trouble.


I am running httpd-2.4.6-45.el7.centos.4.x86_64 and moodle 3.3

I tried putting this in [docroot]/.htaccess:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

php_value memory_limit 40M

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 1

php_flag magic_quotes_runtime 0

php_flag file_uploads 1

php_flag session.auto_start 0

php_flag session.bug_compat_warn 0

<IfDefine APACHE2>

    AcceptPathInfo on

</IfDefine>

# Turn mod_rewrite on

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[my website ip address]$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^learn/course/index\.php?categoryid=13$ http://www.google.com [L,R=301,NC]


But that did nothing. So then I tried putting stuff in httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/learn/course/index.php

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} categoryid=17

   RewriteRule (.*) https://www.google.com [R=301,L]

</IfModule>


But this does nothing either. I am wondering is it because /learn/course/index.php?categoryid=17 has queried string?

Can you back up and explain what problem you are trying to solve... what do you mean by 'redirect' here? Redirect from where?

Hi Howard. I mean redirect from an internal page to an external page. I just figured out my question. It did have to do with the queried string in the url. 

I was trying to go from /learn/course/index.php?categoryid=17 to http//www.google.com


I wrote this in moodle/.htaccess:

# Turn mod_rewrite on

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/learn/course/index\.php$

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^categoryid=17$

RewriteRule (.*) https://www.google.com [R=301,L]


 And worked like a charm. Thank you for responding.

I can't imagine why you would want to do that...

Because the course that is being redirected is on a different web site, google.com was just a place holder for another external url.
