preCharge Forums - View Single Post - Need help on how to do a redirect via htaccess, Frontpage2003 and Apache

If you have moved a lot of files and these are spread across a lot of directories, then you got a great deal of work on your hands!

I suggest just adding:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /

to your .htaccess. This will direct users to your homepage in case they land on a 404.

Alternatively, you can add

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

Create a 404.html with instructions telling users that you restructured your site.
Also, add a google search box (if you have signed up with adsense) to your site to let users search it.
