    Can anyone help me please.

    I'm having trouble redirecting an old url /index.php to a new url: /nl/newpage
    It is on the same domain, just uploaded a new website and want to redirect 301 the old urls to the new ones!

    Everything I try doesn't work.
    (EVO site with YAMS)


    My .htaccess:
    # Friendly URLs
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    
    # Fix Apache internal dummy connections from breaking [(site_url)] cache
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
    
    # Exclude /assets and /manager directories from rewrite rules
    RewriteRule ^(manager|assets) - [L]
    
    # Redirect from mydomain.com/rootname to mydomain.com/rootname/
    RewriteRule ^nl$ nl/ [R=301,L]
    RewriteRule ^en$ en/ [R=301,L]
    
    # The Friendly URLs part
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^nl/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

      hmmmz, index.php somehow can't be redirected sad

      other pages doesn't have that issue, more testing at the moment...

      WORKS:
      RewriteRule ^oldpage.php$ http://domain.nl/nl/newpage [R=301,L]


      Somehow need to redirect index.php to -> http://domain.nl/nl/newpage !
