Hi - I have just written a new site and it is currently on a testing server about to be deployed to the actual domain - the testing site is
www.techhome.co.uk the site its moving to is
www.manninghamconcrete.co.uk i need to perform a 301 redirect so that all the old pages point to the new ones - so im guessing that i will have to redirect all pages from the old to the new. The new site is using Joomla as a back end and i got a bit confused with the .htaccess file on there - do i just add another load of individual redirects to the bottom of the joomla file - so if i wanted to redirect this :
http://www.manninghamconcrete.co.uk/...lesroofing.htm
to this :
http://www.manninghamconcrete.co.uk/...l/roofing.html -it would be written as
Redirect 301 /manningham-eccleshill/roofing.html
http://www.manninghamconcrete.co.uk/manningham-eccleshill/roofing.html
for each occurence - or would i have to put something else in the Joomla .htaccess? would i also have to put the
full path from the old file?
The .htaccess currently is below:
Thanks.
