redirect url to some other url using .htaccess

[mfaisalwarraich]

Hi everyone,

I am using following code into my .htaccess file at root folder of my webpage:

Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine on
 
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mywebsite.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$  index.php?page=$1 
RewriteRule    ^myarticle/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$    index.php?page=my-article&id=$1    [NC,L]  
RewriteRule    ^mytest/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$    index.php?page=mytest&id=$1    [NC,L]    
 

I have no problem with the above code. But i want to prevent the following URL using .htaccess. Because this file exist on the main root and i can't check to see if it exists or not exist. The only way i understand is using .htaccess so that nobody can access it using this way.

http://www.mywebsite.com/mytest.php
 

Please help me on this.

Also is there anyway i can disallow Search Engine bots to not index these type of URL if found on the website using .htaccess?

Thanking you.

I really don't understand what you want to do but if you want to verify if a file exists with htaccess here is the code

RewriteEngine on
 
RewriteCond  mytest.php !-f #if file doesn't exist do something
RewriteRule ^/mytest.php$ http://website.com/denied [L,R=301] #this is just for show you can do whatever you want here
 

If you want to avoid getting a page indexed use the robots.txt (this should be respected by all search engines).
