.htaccess help

Hi All,

Not MODX related but I need a little help if possible.

We have a site that is on www.mydomain.com/shoppingcart, the client now wants to move the shop into the root domain which is no problem however there are 10,700 pages listed in goodle that we will need to re direct.

Is it possible to redirect everything from /shoppingcart back to the root but keep the end of the url in tact ?

IE: re-direct www.mydomain.com/shoppingcart/pages/support.html to www.mydomain.com/pages/support.html without having to do all 10,700 redirects, Just 1 if possible

Hey Paulp,

this should work:

redirect 301 /shoppingcart/ http://www.mydomain.com/

You can use this tool to test it’s working:

EDIT: Only thing not 100% sure on is if that will redirect fine to the root. Try a test directory 1st, but pretty sure that will be ok.

Thanks benny, will give it a try
