htaccess redirect if parameter exists not working-CodePudding

I try to rewrite any URL if a special parameter exists.

So that this happens:

From: www.example.com/somepage/someother/?entryValue=somevalue

To: www.example.com/somepage/someother/?product=test&special=12345ls&linkSource=website

I tried to following, but it doesnt work as expected: This code adds var/www/* instead of the link www.example.com/var/www/web6/htdocs/example.com/index.php/*

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)entryValue=somevalue`
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/?product=test&special=12345ls&linkSource=website [L,R]

This code removes the path:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)entryValue=somevalue
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?product=test&special=12345ls&linkSource=website [L,R]

How can I make it work?

CodePudding user response：

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)entryValue=somevalue
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/?product=test&special=12345ls&linkSource=website [L,R]

You need to include a slash prefix at the start of the substitution string. Like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/?product=test&special=12345ls&linkSource=website [L,R]

Without the slash prefix (the URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern does not include a slash prefix) it is seen as relative and the directory-prefix (ie. /var/www/...) will be added back and result in the malformed redirect you are seeing.
