I'm trying to 301 redirect a paginated blog list from an old site onto a new url.
I think I'm getting pretty close with the RewriteRule but I'm not quite there yet, this is what I have:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=
RewriteRule ^(blog)?$ http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/$1? [R=301,L]
Using this rule if I go to
http://www.olddomain.com/blog?page=1
I currently get redirected to
http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/blog
I would like to be sent to
http://www.newdomain.com/news/page/1
I'm sure its just something small and simple that I'm missing.
Edit
Expanding on the solution below, I've added tags/category support to the rewrite rule using $1.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([^/\.]+)?$ http://www.newdomain.com/news/tag/$1/page/%1? [R=301,L,NC]
