301 redirects in .htaccess not working

If I remove the redirects the server works perfect,

Do you mean that when remove the redirect directives from the apache configuration your redirection work and just a question about why you are getting errors or do you need help?

I would be tempted to let laravel handle you redirects within your routes rather than within your .htaccess. https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/redirects

I mean when removing the lines from htaccess (Redirect 301 old_route new_route) - all of them the app is loading.

The same project on a localhost environment works with the 301 redirects from htaccess.

Do you have mod_rewrite enabled on the other server where it isnt working.

Create file in the public folder phpinfo.php containing

<?php

  phpinfo();

?>

The goto http://yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and see if you see mod_rewrite anywhere? If not install the mod_rewrite package and restart apache and try again.

Apache syntax errors are usually either missing modules or directives in the wrong place.

And make sure you remove the phpinfo script as soon as you confirm mod_rewrite is installed. It a huge security hole to expose publicly

Not having to do with this, but I'd also move the redirects to up above the laravel specific rewrite rules.

@D9705996 I don't think that's the issue, or his laravel app wouldn't work since it's all in an <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> block

@Cronix - just doubling checking the stack overflow .htaccess is from the server isn't from localhost.

same project on a localhost environment works

@Cronix same project on a localhost environment works => the same files that are deployed on a public vps server are running too on a private network localhost (not public network)

In htaccess is the problem...and i don`t know which.

Like i said if I ONLY REMOVE the lines that contains the 301 redirects works on vps. The same htaccess run and works perfect on a local environment

The mod rewrite is enabled in apache

Looking at the documentation examples the URLs are qouoted

Redirect "/foo.html" "/bar.html"

However in your examples they are not

Redirect 301 /create-account.html /register

Can you try changing to

Redirect 301 "/create-account.html" "/register"

Another option is to just put the redirects in your routes and use Route::redirect(). That makes it more server agnostic as well.

Route::redirect('/create-account.htm', '/register', 301);
