Redirect not working after CMS change

1 New Member
Folks, looking for a little guidance on an .htaccess redirect problem - I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to the rewriting of urls...

We've changed from one CMS to another on our company Intranet (Joomla to ModX) and there are three specific URLs that I'd like to have automatically redirect.


One of the old addresses was:
http://test.com/index.php?optio n=com_wrapper&v iew=wrapper&Ite mid=54
and the new page is at
http://test.com/email-list.htm

I'm using mod_rewrite on Apache 2, and I've included a line in it:
Redirect 301 /index.php\?opti on=com_wrapper& view=wrapper&It emid=54 /email-list.htm
It just resolves to the main page of the site...
There is another rule that might be causing problems, but I need it for friendly URLs to work:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Unfortunately, the new CMS also uses the index.php format, but none of the same parameters are passed. Can I just parse those parameters strings and point to the new page for the three I really need? Why do I need these ones? They are marked as favourites and on the desktop of about 800+ PCs...and we don't have the resources to change all of them right away...
Thanks in Advance

When a server encounters the line Response.Redirect("abcd.asp") in a ASP script, the server tells the browser that it has to be redirected to another page (which is abcd.asp, in this case). The browser then makes a new request to the server to redirect itself to abcd.asp after which the user gets redirected to abcd.asp. But in case of Server.Execute (or Server.Transfer), when the server

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
