Redirect 301 not working with accents




Posted by mohammad1991, 10-02-2012, 02:12 PM
Hi, I made some Redirects 301 in my directory and I found out that all URLs containing accents do not work properly. For instance: Redirect 301 /Empresa-y-negocio/Tiendas-de-m%C3%B3viles http://www.example.com/Tiendas-online/M%C3%B3viles/ I also saw there is a fix to force URLs not to have accents with IndexOptions Charset=UTF-8 which is not working in my case. So, is there any way to do this redirect? Thanks.

Unfortunately something like this may just require some trial and error to figure out the proper way to do it. I'd recommend contacting some providers on the "System Manager Offers" section to see if anyone can help you with this for a small fee. Good luck!

You should not use special chars in urls, use url_encode to sanitize them as mentioned in RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax
