How To Do 301 Redirect For Multiple Pages?

[tyhand]

Hi all,

I have a few dozen web pages under a directory on my site.

Example:

http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/page1.html

http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/page2.html

http://www.mysite.com/mydirectory/page3.html...

etc.

I would like to do a Permanent 301 Redirect for ALL the pages in this directory to go to a new page in a new directory or folder.

Example:

http://www.mysite.com/newfolder/newpage.html

How can I accomplish this using an the HTACCESS file?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated as always. Thanks!

Hi Feherke

Thanks for the help.

I read the documentation at the link you provided.

I'm hoping that will do the trick.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

The "RedirectMatch" did the trick. However, I find that this redirect method is better when you have commonly named files.

If so, using the redirect with the following parameters works great:

RedirectMatch 301 /YourDirectory/CommonName([^.]+)\.html$

http://www.YourSite.com/NewDirectory/SomeFile.html
