Topic: RewriteRule question

[tbirnseth]

I have a problem with a rewrite rule.
RewriteRule ^Diet\ Plans(.*)$ http://dietplans.xx.com$1 [R=301,L]

I want any reference to the "Diet Plans" directory to redirect to dietplans.xx.com.
this is working okay.

I want any reference to a file/directory in the "Diet Plans" directory to redirect to that directory/file at the new server. I.e. a reference from
abc.com/Diet Plans/xyz.html

should redirect to
dietplans.xx.com/xyz.html

However, it goes to the document root of the new server rather than maintaining the URI. I.e. dietplans.xx.com/

Can anyone identify what I've done wrong?

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Untested but should work.

Hmm... Can understand the leading '/', but both a leading and trailing '/' outside the character set?

Any clue why my '(.*)' doesn't get substituted into $1?

I'd think I'd have to add a '/' into the character set to match Diet Plans/sub1/sub2/file.txt so the redirect would become
dietplans.xx.com/sub2/sub2/file.txt

Right?

You are right with the starting '/' I missed the part of anywhere in the url.
