To achieve yourr desired effect you will have to build a redirect page. I'm a bit new to doing these, so I hope it works.

First, go into notepad and make a file called ".htaccess" (make sure it is called exactly that and if notepad adds ".txt" to the end, go into My Computer and change the name back.)

Open the file for editing. Inside, put this:

Code:

redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.new.com/new.htm

You must put that exact code into the file, apart from changing "old" and "new" to your old site and the site you're redirecting to. Make sure the files "old.htm" and "new.htm" have the right names and file extensions.

When you've done that, upload the file to the same level as the page you are redirecting from on your old server. The "redirect 301" tells the browser that the site has been permanently moved.

I hope it works.

I've found the problem (hopefully). It was due to my explanation. Put the file into the root (top) folder on your server. Then put in the code you did before, but slightly differently:

Code:

redirect 301 /filepath/index.html http://www.way-o-breath.com/index.html

The filepath should be substituted for the filepath that you have to take to get from the root of the server to index.html.

Hope that works.

I don't really sure you said "the filepath should be substituted for the filepath that you have to take to get from the root of the server to index.html" can you tell me more clearly and simply to understand or can you give some examples. Please. Thank you very much Rob

Does it matter what your htaccess permission is set on?

I can't seem to get this working correctly no matter which file path I use.

Thank you

I tried it..but not working. Do you have any idea differently KimbH?
Thank you for reply.

thank you Rob. your code is working now..
"redirect 301 index.html http://www.way-o-breath.com/index.html". but it take a bit longer time to redirect (20 seconds). you have any idea to redirect faster?
thank again so much

I used the htaccess with redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.new.com/new.htm however it would not work in the mail root. I figured out the problem was I was trying to redirect a sub-domain so I had to put that in redirect 301 in the sub-domains' htaccess.

Hope that helps

Here's an alternative to using the 301 redirect:

Put this code in "index.html" of the old site:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
    window.location = "http://www.newsite.com/newpage.htm"
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 5000)">   Change the 5000 to 0 for an immediate redirect
<h2 >Prepare to be redirected!</h2>
<p>This page is a time delay redirect, please update your bookmarks to our new 
location!</p>

</body>
</html>

FYI I didn't write that - I found it on the net

(I'm not that good at javascript!)
