IS there a way with just htaccess 301 redirect to redirect any page on a domain to a specific page on another domain.
eg. I was domain.com/index.html and domain.com/contact.html to both redirect to newsite.com/index.html
But I am wanting to do this without having to list each of the pages specifically.
can my 301 redirect be just something like
301 * http://newsite.com/index.html
or how should it be set up. Unfortunately I don't have access to mod rewrite so I cant use mod rewrite to make it work.
Had an issue similar to this using wordpress and trying to remove all .asp extensions from pages, this worked pasted at the top of my .htaccess file
## 301 Redirects
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.asp$ $1? [R=301,NE,NC,L]
Yes, that is possible -- instead of mod_rewrite you need to use mod_alias (which has more chances to be enabled).
This one will redirect everything to index.html on newsite.com/
RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.*)$ http://newsite.com/index.html
This one will redirect everything to the same path but on another domain: (e.g. oldsite.com/meow.php => newsite.com/meow.php)
RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.*)$ http://newsite.com/$1

I have an old site with urls A and B
A. www.site.com/about
B. www.site.com/about/subpage
I need to redirect
A. www.site.com/about-us
B. www.site.com/not-a-sub-anymore
My htaccess contains
Redirect 301 /about /about-us
Redirect 301 /about/subpage /not-a-sub-anymore
The first redirect works fine, however, my second redirect seems to inherit the first rule resulting in redirecting me to www.site.com/about-us/not-a-sub-anymore which results in a 404 obviously. How can I work around this issue?
edit: I am using apache2.2.3 and I see in apache 2.4.8 they've added a RewriteRule IgnoreInherit which seems like something I'd be looking for. I have no control of my version of apache unfortunately.
I would suggest redirecting via RewriteRule to prevent additional rules from firing:
RewriteRule ^about/subpage$ /not-a-sub-anymore [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^about$ /about-us [R=301,L]
However, if you insist on using Redirect 301, I'd try rearranging the order:
Redirect 301 /about/subpage /not-a-sub-anymore
Redirect 301 /about /about-us
I have many subdomains within my main example.com like us.example.com, gb.example.com, fr.example.com, pl.example.com etc.
Now I need to do the 301 redirects from the non-existing sites to the new ones. Normally I would have done it the simplest way possible:
Redirect 301 /system_example/systems/system_abc.html http://pl.example.com/system_example/systems/all_systems.html
But this is not possible in the website structure that I have as all the other subdomains that have that path /system_example/systems/system_abc.html will be now redirecting to the http://pl.example.com/system_example/systems/all_systems.html
I only want to do the redirects within the pl.example.com subdomain - all the others need to be left untouched. If only this type of redirect worked but it does not:
Redirect 301 http://pl.example.com/system_example/systems/system_abc.html http://pl.example.com/system_example/systems/all_systems.html
Is it at all possible do achieve that via .htaccess?
If you have mod-rewrite enabled, then:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pl\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(system_example/systems)/system_abc\.html$ /$1/all_systems.html [R=301,L]
otherwise, using mod-alias only:
<If "%{HTTP_HOST}" == "pl.example.com">
RedirectPermanent /system_example/systems/system_abc.html /system_example/systems/all_systems.html
</If>
I am not sure whether the second one is syntactically correct or not.
I'm attempting to change the .htaccess on a website such that each page redirects to a specific page on another website. I've managed to get the non-root level pages to redirect to the new domain with no problem, but however I seem to try to redirect from the root of the old website I end up getting a 'too many redirects' problem. This feels pretty key for optimizing someone's site when they've changed from a previous domain, so would be useful to know.
The code I've got working is this:
Redirect 301 /my_counselling.html newsite.org.uk/
Redirect 301 /fees_and_contacts.html newsite.org.uk//?page_id=11
Redirect 301 /qualifications.html newsite.org.uk/
Redirect 301 /resources.html newsite.org.uk/
Redirect 301 /abuse.html newsite.org.uk/
Redirect 301 /drug_and_alchol.html newsite.org.uk//?page_id=57
Redirect 301 /lgbt_sexuality.html newsite.org.uk//?page_id=13
Redirect 301 /dyslexia.html newsite.org.uk//?page_id=8
But the following attempts to match the ROOT level all fail:
Redirect 301 / newsite.org.uk/
or
RewriteRule oldsite.com/ newsite.org.uk [R=301,L,NC]
or
RedirectMatch 301 ^/ newsite.org.uk/
which are suggestions I've read.
This feels like it should be very simple. If I can just get visitors and bots that would have gone to the old site's root to now go to the new site's root I'll be done.
Thanks so much!
It looks like both domains are on the same server, in that case, You'll need to match against the olddomain using a RewriteCondition and then redirect to the newdomain if that condtion is true.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain.uk$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.uk/$1 [NC,L,R=301]
If I wan't to redirect the whole site (from all pages) http://myoldsite.com to http://mynewsite.com I add this to myoldsites .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewsite.com/ [R=301]
That works fine, every page now goes to http://mynewsite.com.
But there is a problem, http://myoldsite.com/apage will go to http://mynewsite.com/apage. I wan't all pages to redirect to mynewsites startpage (http://mynewsite.com).
How can I do this?
Why on earth are you trying to do a permanent redirect with a rewrite rule?
RedirectMatch 301 ^/ http://example.com
It's called a permanent redirect for a reason. The code 301 isn't for your average user, it's for search engines.
EDIT: Redirect 301 / http://domain.com redirects to a new location, but it also takes consideration for anything you've typed after the basic domain, for example a folder.
What you need to use is RedirectMatch 301 ^/ http://example.com which will redirect everything to http://example.com.
I need to redirect all the old URLs on my site to new URLs, but am having issues. A given URL and its subfolders need redirecting to the same page.
For example, this is the first one:
redirect 301 /panache/sports-bra/ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html
This works ok. However there are these size sub-pages which need to redirect to the same location:
redirect 301 /panache/sports-bra/30DD http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html
redirect 301 /panache/sports-bra/30E http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html
redirect 301 /panache/sports-bra/30F http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html
And these don't work, I end up at a location like the following:
http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html30DD
See the way the last part of the path is appended to the url? I'm guessing it's because the second redirect is conflicting with the initial 301 redirect?
I have also tried using this rewrite rule but have had no luck. The site is Magento so I don't know if this has some effect? mod_rewrite is enabled on the server.
RewriteRule ^panache/sports-bra/ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/sports-bra.html [R=301]
Any help mucha ppreciated.
Try this.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(panache/sports-bra/.*)$ /sports-bra.html [L,R=301,NC]
