We recently changed the product name on our website from 'bracelets' to 'wristbands' and need to keep the old routes around for SEO purposes. Essentially, these routes www.hostname.com/products/bracelets/series-1/ www.hostname.com/products/bracelets/series-1/small-purple should route to www.hostname.com/products/wristbands/series-1/ www.hostname.com/products/wristbands/series-1/small-purple I am reading the tutorial here http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#redirection and looks like i'll be using the block syntax, but am still not sure how to do the route properly. I'm looking to learn

I have a large list of old routes that I need to redirect to new routes. I am already defining my custom routes in the Bootstrap: protected function _initRoutes() { $router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter(); $oldRoute = 'old/route.html'; $newRoute = 'new/route/*'; //how do I add a 301 redirect to the new route? $router->addRoute('new_route', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route($newRoute, array('controller' =>'fancy', 'action' => 'route') )); } How can I add routes that redirect the old routes using a 301 redirect to the new routes? Vadyus I've done it like this Add a Zend_Route

i would like to create a 301 from a page to the same page except that the destination page has a parameter in the url. Browsers show me an error (too many redirects) so its seems that there is an infinite loop. This is my code: RewriteEngine on Redirect 301 /index.php http://www.monsite.com/index.php?step=1 thanks to advice me for that :D You need to conditionalize the redirect and do it in PHP to prevent the infinite redirect loop. index.php: if(!isset($_GET['step'])){ header('Location:http://www.monsite.com/index.php?step=1'); } The way you have it configured will redirect indefinitely,

I have an ASP.NET website hosted on GoDaddy. I need to redirect (301) every request to https://www.example.com/whatever So for example: http://example.com will be redirected to https://www.example.com http://www.example.com will be redirected to https://www.example.com http://example.com/section/page will be redirected to https://www.example.com/section/page This is a piece of cake on Linux or cPanel hostings. But I don't know how to do this on GoDaddy (I asked support, but they don't seem to know nothing...). I guess it's easy to do with IIS, but GoDaddy doesn't give you IIS access. So is

Using Sharepoint 2010 enterprise search, we are trying to crawl our internal mediawiki based wiki site. Search fails with error : 'The URL was permanently moved. ( URL redirected to ... )'. Since the wiki site has case sensitive URLs, when Sharepoint 2010 tries to crawl with lower case URL names, the Wiki says 'page does not exists' and redirects with 301 !!! Any got a solution ? Thanks in advance. By default, all links crawled are converted to lower case by the SharePoint search indexer. You will need to create case sensitive crawl rules.

I have an article on my site that has published in a wrong category. I wanted to change the category, and since the category name is part of the url, I than added a 301 redirection to the updated url. That article had also several likes, but after the 301, it was reset to 0 likes, since to Facebook this is now as a new url with no likes. If I remove the 301 than the likes count is updated again. Is there a way to notify FB that a certain url is a result of a 301 that has likes count? I assume it is relevant as well for pages with FB comments You would need to set the "href" or "data-href"

Is it possible for google or any other crawler to crawl and index a page which returns a 301 status code? I have seen a page in google, which has had a 301 for months. However the cache date of that page in the index is from a few days ago. Can google just ignore the 301 and crawl the contents of a page? Google always crawls the target of a redirect, HTTP 301 is not an exception. Could not find a better source than one employee's discussion post , though. Google Search Appliance documentation says the same and I don't see why GSA and GoogleBot should handle redirects differently. Normally
