Hi Donovan, I am mainly trying to ensure that some existing urls work and point to the new site. The content of the old site is so out of date that it will be removed from search engines, but I need to keep some fo the old links working as specific pages are linked to from other external sites and are published in printed material. So a simple mechanism to ensure some of the old links redirect to the appropriate page on the new site is the primary importance. The old sites are running a very old verion of typo3 which i wish to remove once our new site goes live (there are 10 different installations) so i thought a htaccess file would be a simple way to manage and keep some of the old links working (by redirecting) Am I going about this wrong way? is there a different way?
