Apologies if this has already been posted, but I saw a lot of advice and threads about redirects from Gallery 2 to Gallery 3 if you plan to change the URL. Maybe I am the odd duck for wanting the old gallery and new gallery to be at the same URL with no /gallery/, /gallery3/, or any of that jazz after it.

After beating my head against the wall for a few hours, I came up with this. Hope it's helpful:

Quote:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^main.php(.*) /index.php/ [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^d/([^/]+)/([^/]+) index.php/g2/map?path=d/$1/$2 [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^v/([^/]+)/([^/]+).jpg(.*) /var/albums/$1/$2.jpg [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^v/([^/]+) /index.php/$1/ [R=301,NC]

This will redirect incoming links to albums, photo "pages", and the actual embedded photo to the corresponding links in Gallery 3. Add this to your .htaccess file.

This didn't work for me, I changed it to:

Quote:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^main.php(.*) /index.php/ [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^d/([^/]+)/([^/]+) index.php/g2/map?path=d/$1/$2 [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^v/(.*)$ /index.php/g2/map?path=v/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]
</IfModule>
