Where do you want to respond with this HTTP status?
Please could you describe the desired behaviour in details?

[happyscott]

The desired behaviour is user goes to web page which I have removed he then sees a 410 page.

Old style code used to be like this:

Redirect 410 /example.html

This does not work with x-cart 5

So I am guessing it needs to be something like the format here:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/example.html$
RewriteRule ^.*$ 410page.html [R=410,L]

But I don't know

thanks

Do you mean responding with 410 Gone for products and categories that you removed? If so, a simple change in .htaccess is not enough, I think. You should track removed URLs inside X-Cart and respond with 410 from there.

Try one of these:

RedirectMatch gone /example.html

OR

# Make sure this is immediately following RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example\.html$ - [G]

I do not know what you mean? items deleted inside the shop so url should already have gone? So I need to tell the search engines it will not be back?
