    hello
    I manage a site on a helm 3 windows server. the old site had .htm pages and the new site is database driven and .php. so i want to redirect the old pages to the new pages - which are different names.
    The host will not install a rewritew program and i do not want to loose the current page ranking in search engines. Hence i don't want to use a meta refresh redirect.
    Is there a way to redirect the pages and save search engine ranking?

    ie the new home page is index.php but the old was Home.htm, etc

    (default home page has been changed but its the page redirect i want to fix.

    thanks
    Ian

    What is the webserver, Apache? If so, AddHander PHP to read .htm pages, and use a 301 Permanent Redirect using http://php.net/header.

    Hope that helps,

    hello
    How do i add the addhandler to get it to read the page as php? helm 3 allows you to add mimetypes? but from what i see not htaccess files which is how i would have done it on a linux server?

    thanks
