Hi,
I'm really quite stuck and hoped you could help.
My apologies - the output was from wget, as that's what I
typically use.
$ curl 'https://guardiandigital.com/resources/blog?start=48'
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a
href="https://guardiandigital.com/index.php";
<https://guardiandigital.com/index.php>>here</a>.</p>
</body></html>
The next step is to find out where the 301 is coming from - your rules
will generate a 302.
That may have been the result of me trying many different things and
getting a bit confused (again). Here's what I know - when I insert the
following code into my virtual host config, it strips the query string
off the pages that don't involve /resources/blog, but redirects to a 404
when attempting to access a page involving "/resources/blog" and the
"?start=" query string.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/resources/blog
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=\d+$
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [L,R=301,QSD]
[Sun Apr 28 15:40:02.614893 2024] ... rewrite 'resources/blog' ->
'index.php'
[Sun Apr 28 15:40:02.614921 2024] ... internal redirect with /index.php
[INTERNAL REDIRECT]
If I don't involve the first RewriteCond, it successfully strips off the
start= from every URL I tried.
What does "INTERNAL REDIRECT" mean? Is that something done outside of
apache? Perhaps by joomla? I believe there are other relevant redirects
after these, but it's very difficult to isolate what's relevant.
