Extensions for Joomla! 2.5 • Redirect Manager giving 500 Errors Versus Redirecting

Hi.



Thank you in advance for your help. Using the Redirect Manager I am getting a lot of

500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: category, php, contentView and can not resolve the issue



In the Redirect Manager this is happening when I put

http://ift.tt/1rpUGRa

in the Source URL Field



and



http://ift.tt/1rpUJfP

in the Destination URL Field



http://ift.tt/1rpUJfP is a live working page on our site. Working just fine.



Why isn't the redirect working?

I have taken over the site from someone else who set it up and can't seem to understand what is going wrong. Here is my htaccess file



--------------------------------------------------------------------------



# Use PHP53 as default

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>

suPHP_ConfigPath /opt/php53/lib

</IfModule>

Options +FollowSymLinks



## Mod_rewrite in use.



RewriteEngine On



## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.

# If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below

# This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!

#

# Block out any script trying to base64_encode data within the URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode[^(]*\([^)]*\) [OR]

# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C)([^s]*s)+cript.*(>|%3E) [NC,OR]

# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]

# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})

# Return 403 Forbidden header and show the content of the root homepage

RewriteRule .* index.php [F]

#

## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits.



## Begin - Custom redirects

#

# If you need to redirect some pages, or set a canonical non-www to

# www redirect (or vice versa), place that code here. Ensure those

# redirects use the correct RewriteRule syntax and the [R=301,L] flags.

#

########## Begin - Redirect non-www to www

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]

########## End - Redirect non-www to www



## End - Custom redirects



##

# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL

# is not directly related to physical file paths.

# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root).

##



RewriteBase /



## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section.

#

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

#

# If the requested path and file is not /index.php and the request

# has not already been internally rewritten to the index.php script

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php

# and the request is for something within the component folder,

# or for the site root, or for an extensionless URL, or the

# requested URL ends with one of the listed extensions

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|vcf|raw))$ [NC]

# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical file

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

#

## End - Joomla! core SEF Section.
