Whole domain 301 redirect with changing url

2 Views

I’ve merged two websites (moved posts from old website to new one).
And I want to make permanent redirect to new website.
The problem is old website posts had this structure: “http://oldsite.com/page/“, but new site posts looks like this: “http://newsite.com/page.html“.

So I’ve wrote in .htaccess

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/$ http://newsite.com$1.html

And it’s ok with particular posts, but when you try to reach root of http://oldsite.com/ you got redirect to http://newsite.com.html/

any help would be appreciated

  1. I fix my problem using 2 redirect rules, works for me now:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://newsite.com/ [L,R=301]

# for all other pages
RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/$ http://newsite$1.html

  2. You can break this into 2 redirect rules:

    # for pages
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([^.]*[^/])$ http://newsite.com/$1.html

# for landing and other page
RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*)/$ http://newsite.com$1/
