How to do 404 Redirects ..

[areacode905]

**** I mean 301 Redirects!! ***

I'm not too sure if this is where I'd ask this.

I'm updating my website with a whole new design. I eliminated categories and certain pages. I am almost ready to launch the new design, but many of my original sites pages have been indexed and linked with other sites. How would I do 301 redirect for almost 80 pages??

The best way I believe if is if you have the ability to use mod-rewrite? .htaccess files

A simple test would be to place a file which is named: .htaccess into the root of your server that looks something like this:


#==== .htaccess =========

redirect 301 /some-old/url.html http://www.anydomain.com/new-url.html

you can also use regular expressions to pattern match your urls so that you can do bulk re-directs in one go, but this may take a little working out:
