Need rewrite help.

Hey folks..

On one of our domains we have old links inbound to an old webfeed. Due to new hosts and other issues our feeds and whole directory system is diferant.

Currenty there is several high ranking pages running the webfeeds on them but they all link to this url below. We want to display our new feeds on those pages.

http://www.newsinsider.org/cgi/webfeed.cgi...arnum=10&out=js

Our new feed url is this..

http://www.newsinsider.org/feed/

Is there a way i can use the REWRITE rule to have our feeds display on those other pages that pull the old feed?

Thanks in advance!

why not use a redirect...

redirect:
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

or

if the only thing in the cgi directory that is erroroing is the webfeed.cgi you could handle it with an errordocument.

errordocument:
ErrorDocument 500 http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

but yes, it could probably be done with a rewrite. Would take more code though

using rewrite would be something like this, not sure if the syntax is perfect

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^http://www.newsinsider.org/cgi/.*$ [NC]
ReWriteRule webfeed.cgi*$ http://www.newsinsider.org/feed/ [R,L]

Thanks alot sarettah, this isnt my ball of wax but its something i needed to get converted over, i had suspected it was something similar for the error pages but messed it up good this morning.

Thanks, workin on the fix now!
