hey guys

I have a question

I want to make via htaccess redirect 301 so that anyone who goes to site.com/blog/* lands on site.com/new-blog/

Redirect 301 /blog/ http://www.site.com/new-blog/ worx alright but keeps the extension

if they go to /blog/1.html then it will send them to /new-blog/1.html which is obviously a 404

so how do i make them all land in the front page?

Thnx!!!!!

depending on who your host is, you can probably do it from the cpanel, quite easily actually. look for the domain redirection.
as far as htaccess goes. im not to savvy in that field.

lol yeah, go into the cpanel, go down to the domains bar, and look for "redirects"
click it... you know you want to.

and 301 it . that was easy

ok, tested it and it does the same like i did with the htaccess in the beginning
still if someone goes to old-blog/1 it will redicret to new-blog/1 which is 404

add another htaccess in the new folder
ErrorDocument 404 /404.htm (modify to your page)

or use "mod rewrite" google it

Yes, use Mod Rewrite.

Try this

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog/* /new-blog/index.html

Edit: your original regex should work within Rewrite
