mallen Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I changed my pages from .htm and .cfm to PHP. I am creating a .htaccess file using mod_rewrite. 1. Is this all I need? Will it direct users from a .htm page over to a php page or is it just for search engines? 2. What if my original page was called default.htm and now I amusing index.php Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*).htm$ $1.php [R=permanent,L] RewriteRule ^(.*).cfm$ $1.php [R=permanent,L] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Should be R=301 though. I don't think you can just write permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallen Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I got the info from here http://www.bigoakinc.com/seo-articles/301-direct-Google.php So is this all I need? Will re redirect users or is it just for search engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallen Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 My hosting company says "Your domain is hosted on the Windows server. Unfortunately there is no mod-rewrite available and .htaccess files won't be processed on IIS." So how can I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 So how can I do this? Switch to an Apache based server or find out whether IIS has a mod_rewrite equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
