Hi, I am trying to set up a 301 redirect from an old site to a new site. I want to redirect the entire domain to the index page of the new site.

I set up my .htaccess on the old site like this:

Code:

Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com

But when I browse to, for example, "http://oldsite.com/test", it is redirected to "http://newsite.comtest/"

Thanks

I had this same problem for some reason.

I just installed a 301 plugin on the money site so it would 301 every 404 to the homepage.

Im sure its a better fix for it but it wasn't that important for me at the time and I was sleepy.

google search for the right code to move over your full site.

Try something like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com/

or do the 301 directly at domain registrar (best solution)
or what conor wrote.

Still no luck..

Heres the htaccess on the new site if you can spot something:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

What does not work exactly?
Did you try the suggested solutions?

The .htaccess of your new site is kind of irrelevant, you try to redirect the old site, correct?

Click to expand...

Yes tried all of them. Yes redirect from old to new.

The problem is:

"http://oldsite.com/test" ==> "http://newsite.comtest/"

Should be:

"http://oldsite.com/test" ==> "http://newsite.com"

For those who have the same issue, I used this for the new site's htaccess:

RewriteOptions inherit


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/oldsite\.com" [R=301,L]

This is the correct code to use to do exactly what you want:

Code:

[COLOR=#ff0000][B][FONT=Consolas]RewriteEngine on
[/FONT][/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#ff0000]RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.old.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^old.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thenewdomain.org/ [R=301,NC,L][/COLOR][/B]
