htaccess redirect 301 needs to end if matched
Hi,
I have a site that has been moved from one domain to another and the URL's have been changed so I have many different redirect 301 i.e
redirect 301 /category/heath-and-beauty
this works fine but I wanted to add this rule so that if there is anything that does not match the redirect 301 then this rule will come into effect
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/health/into-the-bliss/$1 [R=301,L]
The problem is that when I add the above rewrite rule all the previous redirect 301 are ignored and it only used the RewriteRule. So I need to end the redirect 301 when a rule matches. I tried
redirect 301 /category/heath-and-beauty
but the [L] can only be used in a rewrite rule, is there a way to exit the rule on match on a redirect 301 that comes above the rewrite rule.
many thanks for your help

No problem. Glad I could help.

worked great, the only thing I had to change was the beginning slash so the rewrite was:
RewriteRule ^category/heath-and-beauty
