Site Change

[kernock]

Hi

I am changing a part frontpage part actinic site to be fully built within actinic...

Could someone tell me how to go about redirecting the user i.e. if they click an old search engine result for a page that no longer exists i would like the user to be forwarded to the site home page.

I am assuming I need to do something with .htaccess file but do not have the foggiest where to start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Julian.

do a search on here for .htaccess or enter into Google as there are lots of tutorials on how to make this work for you

you need to be looking for information for a 301 permanant redirect using htaccess , as Jont says this has been discussed recently.

there are a couple of pre requisites - one you use unix hosting and two your host allows htaccess

What if the server is NT based?

Then a google search for "htaccess equivalent with NT version ...."
