    wondering if anyone could help me out here. I'm trying to set up a catch all 301 redirect. Basically i have a blog with many different entries

    x.com/blogentry1
    x.com/blogentry2
    x.com/blogentry3
    x.com/blogentry4
    etc.


    I want them all to redirect to y.com not y.com/blogentry1

    Thanks!

    You need to create a new entry in .htaccess for every URL your going to redirect.

    
Redirect 301 [COLOR="Red"]/old/blog/post-url.html[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkGreen"]http://www.newsite.com/newpage.html[/COLOR]
    Code (markup):
    This is your old URL, do not include http://www.domain.com/

    This is the URL to redirect to.

    thats what i'm trying to avoid, im redirecting a lot of pages that do not exist anymore but still have links pointing at them. I need some sort of catch all redirect. Any ideas?

    I have this same problem, would really like solutions as making separate entries for all the urls's will be a mission ;)
