Unable to Redirect was created by Kanefire
After days of reading through rewrite rules and conditions and having no luck, I came across this extension and hoped for the best... but alas, not yet. Please help.

I had a j1.5 build in a subdirectory, deleted entire site, built new j2.5 site and placed in root.
None of the old pages are in existence.
Old pages were dynamic (no SEFs), new pages are static (SEFs)
I have disabled Joomla redirect plugin

I need

from
mysite.com/dir/index?filename

to

mysite.com/filename

In the "from url" field I place

/dir/index?filename

In the "to url" I place

(http://)www.mysite.com (without paranthesis)

I clear cache, refresh browser, but when I go to old url, I still get 404...
I have tried every option available.

Hi,
maybe you just miss to escape special chars like "?" with a backslash "\" (From URL field is a regular expression). Try this:
From URL: ^/dir/index\?filename
To URL: http://{siteurl}/{queryfull}

Just a note. In your old URL "filename" is a query. If not, you should post a real full old URL example (just replace the real domain with a dummy one if you prefer).

Kind regards,
Luigi
