Recursive .htaccess redirects
Recently I came across a request on Twitter for an effective means to update the .htaccess file to redirect all pages to a new domain without having to update for all subdirectories. Here are a couple choices which can be easily placed in the root .htaccess file.
OPTION 1 (this does not need the RewriteEngine module)
- Redirect permanent / http://YourNewDomainAddressHere.com/
Option 2 (this requires the use of the RewriteEngine module)
- Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldwebsiteaddress.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldwebsiteaddress.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.YourNewDomainAddressHere.com/$1 [R=301,L]
