Hello,
I'm puting a new website on a existing domain. In order to not loose the links that point to the varios old url I would like to redirect them to homepage.
The old website was a mess as there was no seo and the pages didn't target any keywords. Thats why I would like to redirect all links to home.
What do you think is the best way to do this ?
I tried to ad this in the .htaccess but it's not working;
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
Con you tell me how it exacly look?
Now the hole file is like this:

your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work,
it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
