I'm setting up a .htaccess file with a 301 redirect in it.

Basically, I'm after something like this :-

www.mysite.co.uk -> www.newsite.co.uk
www.mysite.co.uk/stuff.html -> www.newsite.co.uk

I've got one at the mo, but it keeps trying to send the pages to their equiv on the new site. ie www.newsite.co.uk/stuff.html

Anyone help?

Dont put the full path in the first part of the redirect it should look like below

redirect 301 /project2002.htm http://www.hast.org.uk/previous_projects.html
redirect301 /webform1.htm http://www.hast.org.uk/contactforms/contact1.html
redirect 301 /donation1.html http://www.hast.org.uk/treks_donations.html
redirect 301 /donation1.txt http://www.hast.org.uk/
redirect 301 /hast_news.htm http://www.hast.org.uk/

This is from a charity site I host and manage as my small contribution to mankind.

Cheers, will give that a try.

I've got tons of pages on that site though, so was looking for something a bit easier.

Thanks again.

I'm a bit rusty on mod rewrite, but wouldn't something this work:

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new-site.co.uk [R=301]

You might want to check it first, but if you have modrewrite access, then it is quite easy to do.

RedirectMatch permanent (.*) http://www.newsite.co.uk$1
