Hi! I'm new to Drupal, but am trying out the tips I see in this group. They've been very helpful.
I recently just moved my old site, www.amici.com.ph to Drupal. I still have to learn how to do themes soon. The old links that were indexed by google, I used htaccess to redirect to relevant pages of the new website. Since the old links redirect to new pages, won't they be treated as pages with duplicate content?
Thanks!

redirects
If Google spiders the new pages before it finds the redirects by re-spidering the old pages then Google will see duplicate content... but I don't think it's a major issue to worry about. Once Google hit's the 301 redirects they should take the old pages out of the index.

Thanks! Now, I just have to wait for all the old pages to disappear...
How do you do the redirect?
I'm trying to do the redirect from mysite.com/node/100 to mysite.com. Here's the line I use in .htaccess
Redirect 301 /node/100 http://mysite.com
But nothing seems to happen, I just get Page not found error.
I used instructions from here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2416#comment-6614
Is there something wrong with the redirect command?

The standard 301 redirect
The standard 301 redirect code does not work in Drupal when running clean URLs. Instead you will need to rewrite the URL by adding the following code below the RewriteEngine command in your .htaccess file.
RewriteBase /RewriteRule ^old/URL/path$ http://yourdomain.com/new/path [R=301,L]
The old path is the relative url off the root and the new path is the absolute url you want to redirect to including the domain. Make sure that this code is placed above Drupal's clean url rewrite commands.

When I recently moved a static site to a Drupal site I struggled with conflicting information on 301 until I found the rule icelink shares above.
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^old/URL/path$ http://yourdomain.com/new/path [R=301,L]
One additional note I found it worked when placed after the rewrite statement and before any other redirects.
Confused about standard 301 redirect
I just can't seem to grasp how I customize this code for my situation. I own a new domain now and just use the old domain to point to the IP where the new domain resolves. I work for a municipal government, and we just jumped on the .gov bandwagon. Without calling my city out specifically, here is my example:
old domain: http://www.examplecity.com
new domain: http://city.in.gov
What should my code look like?? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I've been working on this for days now!
Thanks in advance!!
Simple redirect
Place this close to the top in terms of other rewrite rules.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} examplecity.com$ [NC]RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://city.in.gov/$1 [L,R=301]
I think the http:// is not
I think the http:// is not necessary. Here is a line in my .htaccess, please note that the "/" at the beginning is important, if not it will search for a file.
RewriteBase /
# Deprecated URL
RewriteRule article/6529 /article/5664 [R]

Thanks All!
Thanks for the help on this thread, i just used the info here to do a 301.
I also places the command after my rewrite statement and before any other redirects, and it worked like a dream.
help with redirect code!
Hi,
My redirect is not working. What am I doing wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated!
This below is my .htaccess code
===================================
# If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix, you
# can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred
# URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:
# To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,
# (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...)
# uncomment the following:
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldnursewebsite.com$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.newnursewebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
#
# To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,
# (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to http://example.com/...)
# uncomment the following:
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Uncomment?
You need to uncomment the lines that you want to be used (get rid of the "#" at the beginning of the line) and it needs to be the same base domain if you want to redirect from non-www domain to www domain, e.g.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^newnursewebsite.com$ [NC]RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.newnursewebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks, Kristen. I do want to move from http://www.oldnursewebsite.com to http://www.newnursewebsite.com. These are two entirely different domain names, both with www.
redirect
Try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^newnursewebsite.com$ [NC,OR]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldnursewebsite.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldnursewebsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.newnursewebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
It's saying if the host is newnursewebsite.com OR oldnursewebsite.com OR www.oldnursewebsite.com 301 redirect to www.newnursewebsite.com
redirect
Thank you very much for this Mike, but it still doesn't work. :(
redirect
I wonder if it's because the website that I want to have it redirected (newnursewebsite.com) has been hitched on the same DNS server as the other website (oldnursewebsite.com)???
