How to correctly specify a redirect?

Question

htaccess

We made a new site, and we can’t do relinking, namely:

Redirect 301 /pesok/kvarceviy-pesok/ https://newsite.ru/pesok/

As a result, relinking goes to https://newsite.ru/pesok/kvarceviy-pesok / , that is, it adds something extra to the end

. Why is that? How to fix ?
How to make relinking strictly according to the specified link?

Answer 1

As a result, the linking goes to https://newsite.ru/pesok/kvarceviy-pesok/ , that is, it adds an extra to the end

So somewhere above there is a rule Redirect 301 / https://newsite.ru/and it works.
These rules can simply be reversed.

Redirect 301 /pesok/kvarceviy-pesok/ https://newsite.ru/pesok/
Redirect 301 / https://newsite.ru/

Or use RedirectMatch.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ https://newsite.ru/
RedirectMatch 301 ^/pesok/kvarceviy-pesok/$ https://newsite.ru/pesok/
