Redirect URL doesn't work was created by saveonhome
I installed ReDJ Community version on my website, what I want is to provide easy to remember URL for some pages of my site, e.g. I want to use www.mydomain.com/insurance to be redirected to www.mydomain.com/index.php/en/services/insurance page, however, when I open www.mydomain.com/insurance on browser, it shows "Internal Server Error", the 2nd page does work fine though. Please advise what could be wrong.

My joomla version is 3.1.5 and the ReDJ Community version 1.7.2

I need to know which causes the internal server error.

Could you please take a look at your server error log and check the message?

I asked the server support person to check the "Internal Server Error" problem, here's what he replied, please advise how to proceed. Can ReDJ support redirect of www.mydomain.com/insurance to www.mydomain.com/index.php/en/services/insurance at all?

Looking at that URL, since it's a generic 500 error there is technically no php errors being generated. As a test I renamed the .htaccess file. Now the same URL is generating a 404 error. I checked the content/ folder and did not see a insurance/ subfolder. That would indicate the 500 error is being caused by a rewrite in the htaccess file. So you might want to check if that URL is being rewritten by a plugin or extension. I am going to rename the .htaccess file back as it was previously.

Ok,
this is what you should do.

Take the original Joomla htaccess.txt and rename as .htaccess (i.e. replace the current). Edit this file and add this line at the end:
ErrorDocument 404 /

After this, login to Joomla backend, go to plugins, filter by system type and edit ReDJ plugin settings. Enable and put as first one. Disable the redirect plugin.

After this, create a redirection rule:
From URL: ^/insurance
To URL: http://{siteurl}/index.php/en/services/insurance
Request only: true (checked)

If this doesn't work, send me an email at info(at)selfget.com and provide me a temporary backend access if you can.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Why we should disable the plugin?

The redirect plugin is the joomla one, you could disable it temporary only to check if it is causing issues, otherwise you can leave it enabled (I was listing actions to troubleshoot the problem).
