htaccess 301 redirect of single page

Question

After a site redesign  I ve got a couple of pages that need to be redirected  Everything is staying on the same domain  just a couple of things have been reorganised and or renamed  They are of the form    contact php  is now    contact-us php  Using the  htaccess file  I ve added this line  which is the one I find recommended most   RedirectMatch 301  contact php  contact-us php   This is mostly fine - it does the job - the problem is  it also redirects     team1 contact php  non-existant-folder contact php   Is there a way of specifying that I only want to redirect the contact php in the root

redirect 301  contact php  contact-us php   There is no point using the redirectmatch rule and then have to write your links so they are exact match   If you don t include you don t have to exclude   Just use redirect without match and then use links normally

You could also use a RewriteRule if you wanted the ability to template match and redirect urls

RedirectMatch uses a regular expression that is matched against the URL path  And your regular expression  contact php just means any URL path that contains  contact php but not just any URL path that is exactly  contact php  So use the anchors for the start and end of the string    and      RedirectMatch 301   contact  php   contact-us php

If you prefer to use the simplest possible solution to a problem  an alternative to RedirectMatch is  the more basic  Redirect directive   It does not use pattern matching and so is more explicit and easier for others to understand   i e   lt IfModule mod alias c gt    Repoint old contact page to new contact page  Redirect 301  contact php http   example com contact-us php   lt  IfModule gt    Query strings should be carried over because the docs say       Additional path information beyond the matched URL-path will be   appended to the target URL
