301 .htaccess Redirect

[CyberAff]

Most may not know but .htaccess redirect is better than the meta refresh or redirect tag because there is no delay as the browser reads the .htaccess file first. Here is how it works.

Go to your projects root directory, open the .htaccess file in your servers code editor or download to your local computer and edit it with any text editor. If you download the .htaccess file to your computer you may not see it,



you may want to double check your setting and make sure you have turn on invisible / system files.
Example:

Redirect 301 / http://www.wareztunnel.com/301.php/
Redirect 404 / http://www.wareztunnel.com/404.php/

Code Breakdown

• Redirect = Tells the browser what to do.
• 301 or 404″ = Tells what error to redirect.

• "http://www.wareztunnel.com/404.php/" = URL to redirect to.

• Yes the / between the error value and URL does need to be there to separate the action from the event.

thanks for that... i would also add that 301 at htaccess is better than rel=canonical at meta page level.

a question thought...

What if i wanted to redirect any 404 pages to the homepage via a 301 redirect... do you know what that would look like?

Thanks for the breakdown above, nice post! helped me out today that and made me member of forum! B-)
