301 Re-direct Problem

[Sparetoolparts]

Hey All

Last year I 301'ed some category pages on my website www.sparetoolparts.co.uk (Magento website) in my .htaccess file. I never noticed until now that a few of these 301's didn't work, after having a look I now know why; check out my rewrite below:

RewriteRule ^makita/cordless-tools/radio.html http://www.sparetoolparts.co.uk/makita/cordless-tools/radio.html [L,R=301]

As you can see this will never resolve as it is always pointing to itself, so eventually it times out with a too many re-directs message.

I tried to solve the issue by simply removing this rewrite from my .htaccess but it hasn't fixed the issue at:

https://www.sparetoolparts.co.uk/makita/cordless-tools/radio.html

I would have thought this would have been an instant fix any ideas on the next step to solve this issue?

P.S

I have cleared the Magento Cache etc

I'm still getting a 301 on that URL. Here's what a server header check shows me:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently =>
Server => nginx
Date => Thu, 04 Jan 2018 12:24:19 GMT
Content-Type => text/html
Content-Length => 178
Connection => close
Location => http://www.sparetoolparts.co.uk/makita/cordless-tools/radio.html

Double check your htaccess and any caching plugins you've got. There may be another rewrite that causing this - for example, a rewrite of the whole /cordless-tools/ folder or a rewrite of all pages with the name radio.html.

Hi

I have double checked the htaccess file and it is definitely gone,

Other pages inside cordless-tools work fine.

I've cleared my Magento Cache a few times now, so I'm unsure what else to try, I might look at the URL rewrite options in Magento

I am getting below error:
The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firstly remember 301 means PERMANENTLY MOVED. So use with caution. Browsers will cache the redirect as well as search engines.

You are best to use 302 until you are 100% confident the redirect will be permanent.

You are redirecting from http > https > http

But only for this URL the base site just redirects to https so it might be a setting in Magento or htaccess.

I would think you've got another redirect that would be causing this behaviour.

Happy to take a look at the entire htaccess file. PM it to me if you don't want to post it here.
