Hi

I have converted my web site to Exponential. I have searched the eZ site and have not found an answer, but I may have not searched on the right terms to find my answer.

I had a couple of pages that were very popular on my old site that I have added to the new Exponential site. Now I have a lot of traffic still comeing to certain URL's from the old site that I am not clear on how to redirect to the new eZ URL. For example I want to send traffic from

MyUrl.com/somepage.html

to

MyUrl.com/somepage/

I have tried working with the URL Translartor and URL Manageer without success. It does not like the "HTML" extension.

I am using Exponential 3.4.1

Thank you for your help
Mark

You could set some redirects in a .htaccess file:

Redirect /somepage.html http://myurl.com/somepage/

I'm sure there are more ways, try google.

I tried this approach and it did not work for me.

I even tried to put the redirect directly into the http.cong file. Did not work. I tried it with and without the "permanent" setting. I restarted Apache and it did not fly. Everything else worked. But the redirect did not work.

Any ideas??

Did you try the URL Translator in the admin/set up tab? You can set up URL aliases from any entered URL to any node in your eZ site. I have only tried it with folders, but I don't think it would be a problem to use html files...

If that does not work, you can add an HTML page that uses some javascript redirect code to get them to the new page.
