hi
i have set of 404 url and htaccess rule as follow
| Code: | RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)(amp|m|utm_\w+)=
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L] |
my 404 url are something like this
so my goal is all 404 url having query in the end url will redirect to the post url
My problem is the rule above doesnt seems to catch ?amp (without = char),can someone help me with the correct code?
Secondly is it possible to put the rules directly on vhost.conf instead using htacces
thank you |

Depending on what field separators you expect between parameters in your query string, and the position of those parameters, your regex is incomplete. Moreover, for your posted problem if you need to catch the case where the equal sign is optional after the match sub-string, you need an additional "zero of more" case regex parameter, viz:
| Code: | | RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\?(|.*?[:^|&]*?))(amp|m|utm_\w+)(=?) |
Note the revised regex construct after the initial "? query string character, to cope with various field separator characters. I've also added a couple of '?' characters to make the wild card match strings non-greedy.
Does this do what you need?
Note this regex construct won't cope with all query string constructs (it's late evening here, so forgive me for not working this through fully). |

thank you tangent
But for some reason, it seems url having ?amp still return 404 not 301
| Code: | | http://domain.com/post1.html?amp |

Ok, I spent some time looking at the regex, and came up with the following revised solution:
| Code: | RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \b(amp|m|utm_\w+)\b(=\w+)??
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1? [R=302,L] |
(note I've removed the "/" in your RewriteRule too). I found this site helpful for testing regex constructs - https://regex101.com
One other issue maybe. You specified 301 (permanent) redirects, rather than 302's, and browsers will cache 301 decisions till their cache is cleared. To avoid unwanted behaviour, I therefore generally favour 302 redirects.
If I use command line curl against a local Apache test server, I now get the following results for your "amp=1" and "amp" use cases.
C:\>curl http://192.168.1.8/post1.html?amp=1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="http://192.168.1.8/post1.html">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>
