I'm transferring a site that was on a dynamic CMS to now output static pages, so what before took the form http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?pg=767 is now http://www.mydomain.com/swisscheese, for example. Basically I don't know how to go about this. My current htaccess won't let me forward a dynamic URL to another dynamic URL, but since I'm not using that any more anyway I could use some advice on how to fix this. Would putting "redirect 301 /index.php?pg=767 http://www.mydomain.com/swisscheese" in my htaccess work or is it different for dynamic urls? Thanks.
Meh, can't figure it out. Here's what I'm putting in, but I just get a 404 error when I try to go to /index.php?pg=8 redirect 301 /index.php?pg=8 http://www.mydomain.com/index.html Can anybody point me in the right direction? Should I be looking at mod_rewrite, because I don't even really know what that is. Sigh
