I have an old site I wish to update…
it consisted of several pages, however I have consolidated it into 1 page (index.php)
With regards to a 301 redirect… I want to move users from the old page;
http://www.example.com/aboutus.php
to the new one;
http://www.example.com/
Whats the magical .htaccess line???;
redirect 301 /aboutus /???

Try and report back.

I wrote this article over on the Softpress KnowledgeBase a while ago that should cover what you want to do;
I think it would be nice if Freeway knew the links had changed and offered to update the .htaccess file for you but it isn’t that hard to do manually.
Regards,
Tim.

Thank you Thomas, thats a really cool site!!! Very helpful as always 
Tim, I read this earlier… however it does not illude as to how to redirect http://www.example.com/aboutus.php back to http://www.example.com
As I mentioned the site is now only 1 page, thus every old page needs to re-direct to the new single index page.
whem I try using Redirect 301 www.example.com/aboutus.php /www.example.com/index.php
I redirects to http://www.example.com/index (which doesnt work)???
and not…
How can I achieve this as neither seen to explain this?
Many thanks Tim

Chris,
Give this a try:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.html [L,R=301]
(Source)
That should redirect any requests to a file that no longer exists to index.html

Hi Caleb, unfortunately that didnt work???
I’m confused, I thought this would be a pretty easy process, however its proving to be quite a chore… 
I simply want all old/previous links to now redirect to 1 page:
thus
www.example.com/aboutus.php
www.example.com/contact.php
so on…
will redirect to:
Many thanks

add this to a .htaccess file…
Redirect 301 /myoldpage.html http://example.com/mynewpage.html
