Redirect question

So GWT is showing over 1k 404 errors, which is from when I switched platforms for my eCommerce site.

I would like to have all of these 404's redirected to my homepage. Not all of them are the same type of 404 error. Basically I am wondering what type of code I will need to do about 1k in one run, and would this be a good idea? I figure might as well grab the link juice from the last site that is no longer coming through anymore.

Any idea on how I would go about doing this in a timely manner would be great. I dont want to individually do each link in htaccess. Copying all the links and then a line above it etc would be great.

Put this in .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

If you have already line RewriteEngine on, no need to repeat it, put just second line.

Like I said, they are not all the same type 404 error, so that would not work.

do you have access to apache conf? all the same domain? if so just use a redirect directive in apache config.

Without more details is hard to give help, but basically all kinds of redirects can be made with .htaccess and rewrite / redirect directives. Site www.stackoverflow.com have a lot of examples and solutions.

I think you can definitely get a solution in stackoverflow dot com. yes, its true that its hard to give help without having other information.
