To redirect to sitemap.php from .htaccess, you can use the Redirect or RewriteRule directive depending on your needs.


Using Redirect directive:

1
Redirect /sitemap.xml /sitemap.php


Using RewriteRule directive:

1
2
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ /sitemap.php [L,R=301]


Both of these directives will redirect requests for sitemap.xml to sitemap.php. The R=301 flag in the RewriteRule directive will also send a HTTP 301 status code to the browser, indicating that the redirect is permanent.


Make sure to test your redirection after adding the code to the .htaccess file.
