Hi,

How do I take care of permanent page-redirects after converting an old static site to a silverstripe site? I want to redirect the old pages to the silverstripe counterparts. That is, on the old site I had a page with the url:
http://www.pathfindertravels.se/pages/pathvand/marockov1.html

which on the new site correspondes to:
http://www.pathfindertravels.se/vandring-i-atlasbergen-marocko/

Normally I would just add rows in .htaccess to handle this, like:
redirect 301 /pages/pathvand/marockov1.html http://www.pathfindertravels.se/vandring-i-atlasbergen-marocko/

But this doesn't work. (Well it partly works, since the new rewritten url is http://www.pathfindertravels.se/vandring-i-atlasbergen-marocko/?url=/pages/pathvand/marockov1.html)

Should I be using Director::redirectPerm instead? And if so, how do I do that? Other ideas?

Thanks in advance,

/Jens

Found a discussion about this in an old thread, sorry. But following the advices in that thread, I still can't get it to work.

If I use the suggested RewriteRule, nothing happens. And if I use the redirect, the URI is rewritten, but I still get the old one attached at the end, with "?url=old_url".

Any other suggestions?

Ok, I must have mixed a few things up. Anyway, this works for me now:

RewriteRule pages/english.html http://www.pathfindertravels.se/welcome-to-the-world-of-pathfinder-travels/ [R=301,L]

Case closed I guess.
