Page Redirects

We are about to take our new site live soon, but we are going to change the cuerrent director structure from https://www.website.com/zen-cart-v1.1.3/ to https://www.website.com/shop/ is there a way to catch all the customers who have bookmarked the old site and send them to the new url?

Ive played with htaccess files, but cant get it to work well enough

thanks

Andy

Re: Page Redirects

You did not post your htaccess attempt but this format should take care of this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.maindomain.com/zen-cart-v1.1.3/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.maindomain.com/shop/$1 [R=301]

no, its just how long ago we started using it, and kept the dir structure, which is why we are changing it with the re worked website, the current version is 1.3.7

Whew! :smile: May I suggest you rename the directory to catalog or something innocuous - very easy to do - then just change your 2 config files to match.
