Ahoy all! I've been racking my brain with this one.

I basically just converted all of my pages from ASP code to PHP code. Kept the same filenames.

So, here is the htaccess code I have so far, but it keeps redirecting to my ROOT.... ie /home/accountname/publc_html...

What am I doing wrong?

RewriteRule (.*)\.asp $1.php [R=301]

  • "Kept the same filenames." - So your PHP files are actually "filename.asp"?

  • @w3d That's obviously not what he meant. Same file name, new extension.

  • Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I kept the filenames but changed the extensions.

try adding a slash before the target url ($1) like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.asp$ /$1.php [R=301,NC]

  • Thanks for the reply. Hmmm... that actually didn't do anything. It isn't redirecting at all.

  • Sorry for the late reply. Appreciate the help! Linux. I tried with both the NC and the R=301. With the 301, it seems to redirect to the ROOT. For example, it will redirect from sitename.com/name.asp to sitename.com/home/accountname/name.php. Weird!

  • @PaulHanak is there any other rewrites in your .htaccess would you please paste the entire file if so.

  • Thank you for the follow-up. The only other rewrite in the htaccess is for hidding hidden files and directories as per the boiler plate. RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F] I have also placed your code at the very top of my htaccess file if that makes a difference.

If you are running PHP on IIS and know that you don't have any .asp pages left over you can add a handler for IIS to interpret .asp pages as PHP. This is just a neat trick that masks the fact that you are actually running PHP.

@anagio's rewrite rule will work. Make sure its a permanent redirect by adding the appropriate header.

    in Apache you can make .asp work as .php with an AddHandler rule like AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .asp (or /x-httpd-php5 depending on how the php handler is defined)
