googlebot gets wrong rewrite cpaneluserguide pages

ok here's the story

im getting 404 mails that googlebot is getting the wrong pages.

im using the cpanel guide rewrite that raven posted in a forum somewhere .
but im getting mails and for some weird reason googlebot looks for Forwarders.html instead of cpaneluserguide-Forwarders.html

so in 99% the prefix cpaneluserguide- is missing.
and also it shows htm instead of html.

what i dont get is why the rewrite seems to be ok but google forgets the prefix.

Anyone?

Without seeing the actual re-write thats a tough one.
Has google indexed old pages prior to using the tap?

no ,i dont have any old pages...lol
before the rewrite it was just the original php

the codes.....

Code:

#Cpanel user guide
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide-([[:alnum:]]*).html cpaneluserguide.html&page=$1\.htm [L]
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide.html cpaneluserguide.html [L]

and this is GT-CPanel_User_Guide.php

<?php

$urlin = array(
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=CPanel_User_Guide&page=([[:alnum:]]*)\.htm'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=CPanel_User_Guide'",
);

$urlout = array(
"cpaneluserguide-\\1.html",
"cpaneluserguide.html",
);

?>

Here is what I use on my site

Code:

(IN)
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=CPanel_User_Guide&page=([[:alnum:]]*)\.htm'",
"'(?<!/)modules.php\?name=CPanel_User_Guide'",

(OUT)
"cpaneluserguide-\\1.html",
"cpaneluserguide.html",

#cPanel User Guide
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide-([[:alnum:]_-]*).html cpaneluserguide.html&page=$1\.htm [L]
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide.html cpaneluserguide.html [L]

hi raven, yes they are the same cause i use yours like you published in a topic some time ago,so thats why i cant understand where the googlebot gets the wrong link from.

They aren't the same Smile

You have
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide-([[:alnum:]]*).html cpaneluserguide.html&page=$1\.htm [L]

and I have
RewriteRule ^cpaneluserguide-([[:alnum:]_-]*).html cpaneluserguide.html&page=$1\.htm [L]

If I remember right, the new cpaneluserguide was updated recently and that caused me to have to change my rules Smile
