Magento 2 URL Redirect (301) not working

[quilla_b]

I am trying to redirect account creation to account sign in. I create customer accounts in admin panel instead. However attempting to redirect using Magento's URL Rewrite module is not working for me.

URL Rewrite: Custom
Store: Default store view
Request path: customer/account/create
Target path: customer/account/login
Redirect Type: Permanent(301)

Upon clicking "create account" in the store, it doesn't redirect to sign in page.

I am using Google Chrome and also tried with Safari. I have cleared my browser cache, reindexed and cached Magento but to no avail.  Am I missing other configuration to make this work?

Here's a photo of my configuration:

I was not able to redirect using Magento Admin Panel but instead, I included this line in .htaccess in root magento directory:

RewriteRule customer/account/create http://<mydomain>/customer/account/login [L,R=301].

It sounds like you've set up the URL rewrite correctly, but there might be a conflict or an override happening elsewhere. Double-check if there are any custom modules or themes affecting the customer account routes. Also, clearing Magento’s cache and reindexing is a good step, but you might want to review OR Case Alerts for more insights into managing and tracking system redirects effectively. Let me know if you want help digging deeper into the configurations!
