How are you re-directing?bpoynot said:
There are a few ways to redirect. An html file, .htaccess, are among a couple ways
Are you trying to redirect using the variables after the `?` ?
Example: When a user visits http://www.domain.com/file.php?var=true&var2=another to be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/diff_file.php?var=true&var2=another
From another thread by ualymerej
when i looked at my .htaccess file, i noticed that my older redirects were coded a little bit differently than my newer ones. The newer ones were the ones that had problems with replacing a question mark with %3f. The older ones said "Redirect temp /link url" but the newer ones said "RedirectMatch temp ^/link$ url" so i just deleted the "Match", the "^", and the "$" and now my redirects seem to work fine. Is there a fix so that the new redirects wont have all that extra coding?
It works for me as long as the original address is like http://***.com/ if it's http://***.com/anythinghere then the anythinghere is added to the redirected address
eg
http://tour.met-art.com/index.htm?CA=901313-0000&PA=406784anythinghere

I guess cpanel supports only folder to folder redirects. For special URLs, you need to set them up manually in .htaccess using mod_rewrite. You can check http://forum.modrewrite.com/ for more help on that.
