Question about redirects using RewriteMatch

There are some sections of the site that I wanted to setup aliases for so w=
hen you browse to www.bus.miami.edu/businessmiami/, www.bus.miami.edu/inthe=
news/ and www.bus.miami.edu/embapr/ you automatically get redirected to the=
specified page.

RedirectMatch /businessmiami(/|$) "http://www.bus.miami.edu/news-and-media/=
publications/busmiami/index.html"
RedirectMatch /inthenews(/|$) "http://www.bus.miami.edu/news-and-media/in-t=
he-news/index.html"
RedirectMatch /embapr(/|$) "http://www.bus.miami.edu/graduate-programs/exec=
utive-mba/emba-off-campus/puerto-rico/index.html"

I encountered a problem where I had an image in a folder /_assets/images/bu=
sinessmiami/cover.jpg. The web page wouldn't load the image because the li=
nk was getting redirected because of the RedirectMatch. I'm not sure why i=
t's not working correctly. Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks,
Emil Diego

I think a ^ at the beginning of your matching pattern should fix your
problem. For example:-

RedirectMatch ^/businessmiami(/*)$
"http://www.bus.miami.edu/news-and-media/publications/busmia mi/index.html"

This means it only matches when /businessmiami is at the start of the
request URI and not in middle of it, as in your image link.

Cheers,
Phil.

Your image matches the first regexp. If you mean "^/businessmiami(/|)$",
then you need to say so!
