redirect all old urls to new prestashop

[mo1977]

Hi all

 

I hope someone can help. I have made a new presta shop site and need to redirect all the old website urls to the new site. I have tried editing thing in the htaccess file but it either stops the whole site working or does nothing. is there an easy way to do this?

 

example

 

old site

http://www.xyz.com/acatalog/*

 

new site

http://www.xyz.com

 

Thanks

on old domain and website you can do it with htaccess 301 redirection:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hi  Vekia

 

thanks for the reply, the old website is gone I am using the same domain for the new site. What I am trying to do is get all the old pages that are indexed by google to goto the new sites home page. To try to explain google has 300 pages from the old site indexed they all start www.xyz.com\acatalog\ when I click on them it takes me to the prestashop 404 page I want them  to goto the new homepage. Hope that makes it more understandable.

 

thanks

if you moved all files to root dir of your domain, then you can use the same code i mentioned above too. It will redirect all links from /catalog/ to root dir of your domain.

 

in directory /acatalog/ create only one file: .htaccess with code that i mentioned above. 301 redirection is perfect for google robots

I did what you said but I just get the 404 page still. Am I missing something?

I made the acatalog Dir

I put one file in it .htaccess

I put the code from above in it

 

Please help!!

[vekia]

let's clarify.

 

you created subdirectory /dir/

and created there .htaccess file too with code i mentioned above.

have you changed domain address in code?

 

can you paste url?

[mo1977]

yes I did all that

 

www.deltec.net is the new shop www.deltec.net/acatalog/ is what I am trying to redirect.

 

thanks

[vekia]

it should work now.

make sure that you used .htaccess name for file i mentioned and also make sure that your hoster allow to use .htaccess file in subdirectories (followsymlinks)

Hi

 

this is what is in my .htaccess file @ www.deltec.net/acatalog/.htaccess

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule http://www.deltec.net/acatalog/ (.*) http://www.deltec.net/$1 [R=301,L]

 

I still just get 404 page?

on old domain and website you can do it with htaccess 301 redirection:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Hi, I am hoping to get some help. I am struggling with redirecting my urls which I have 84 to do.

3 example are as below -

tillrollsonline.co.uk/index.php?id_product=12&controller=product https://www.tillrollsthermal.co.uk/till-rolls/a-grade-paper-till-rolls/37x70mm-a-grade-till-rolls
tillrollsonline.co.uk /index.php?id_product=14&controller=product https://www.tillrollsthermal.co.uk/single-ply-paper/44x70mm-a-grade-till-rolls
tillrollsonline.co.uk/index.php?id_product=13&controller=product https://www.tillrollsthermal.co.uk/till-rolls/44x80-a-grade-till-rolls

I am going from tillrollsonline.co.uk to tillrollsthermal.co.uk

I think my problem is due to the URL having index.php in?

I hope someone may be able to help me.

Thank you in advance.
