htaccess redirect 301 wildcards

[design-is]

Hi all

I'm not too hot on htaccess stuff - hoping someone can help me out.

I want to redirect all visitors to /thispage/ when they try to get to anything below it, for example /thispage/onebelowit/

Would it be something like:

Redirect 301 /thispage/* http://mysite.com/thispage/

?

Cheers for any advice...

/Doug

The /* in yours matches "", "/", "////", etc. The * means the character preceding either doesn't exist or occurs any number of times. In your case, the / character. The . below means any character. The + means the preceding character exists 1 or more times.

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
  Redirect permanent /thispage/.+ http://mysite.com/thispage/
</IfModule>

or

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^thispage/.+ /thispage/ [R=301,L]
