How do I 301 a domain (but keep rest of URL) to new domain?

Hi
We are moving a site from one domain to the other, but need to keep the rest of the URL.
ie.
www.oldsite.co.uk/product/fgh/ert/11/test
Would now be:
www.newsite.co.uk/product/fgh/ert/11/test
Is there a HTACCESS code I can pop in that will change the domain part of it?
I suspect it can be done in a PHP file, but also suspect it's possible in htaccess.

Check out the Redirect directive.

Code: Select all
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_HOST}" "!^www\." [NC]
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_HOST}" "!^$"
RewriteRule "^/?(.*)" "http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1" [L,R,NE]
??

No, "Redirect". Although you could use mod_rewrite to do it too (but not with that stuff you posted).

That's not a 301.
I'm certain there will be a simple one line code for htaccess, whereby it can tweak the http and domain part, but leave the rest, and 301 it onto the new site.

Go back and read it again. Specifically the bit about status.
