Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Excellent point, Rebekah. Just how would you do the redirects? In addition to finding out which pages to redirect, I'm particularly interested in the best/fastest technical way to achieve these redirects.

Is it right to do this within the .htaccess file, even if it can become quite large with a few hundred lines of redirects?

Thanks for your valuable input, Ryan.

Would you do the redirects with .htaccess file, or would you use another way like a Drupal module. If you would use a module, can you recommend one?

We are migrating to a new website that will be using entirely new URLs under the same domain as the old website. The old website is a custom PHP script and the new website uses Drupal.

I know that I should use individual 301 redirects to the corresponding new pages.

My question is just how to set up the hundreds of 301 redirects from the old website to the new one?

Here is the process I've come up with. Please let me know if there is an easier and better way for this.

1. Before actually changing to the new website: download an advanced report with all pages on this domain from OSE.
2. Find corresponding pages on the new website
3. Make the hundreds of 301 redirect lines in an .htaccess file with the following code:

redirect 301 /oldurl.html http://domain.com/the-full-url

Thanks in advance for your help!
