How to redirect every dynamic .asp page to their .php equivalent?

redirect .asp to .php

[alpacinofr]

Hi,

I want to move from Windows to Linux server. Should redirect every old .asp page to new .php page on Linux. I will preserve all URL intact (the same) except extension.

Pages are dynamic ie. page.asp?kat=23&lang=de to page.php?kat=23&lang=de

Anyone knows redirect mod rule for acheive this goal. Many old pages are indexed as .asp pages in Google.

I need to redirect each page click .asp going automatically to .php

I need also 301 redirect (permanent)

Thank you.

Why not preserve all the URLs intact and KEEP the extension?

You can configure apache/php to parse .asp files even though they'll be written in PHP.

Moving every single page on your site, even if only from foo.asp to foo.php, is not a good idea unless it's absolutely necessary, and IMHO in your situation it isn't.

you must have something like this in your apache configuration file

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3

just append .asp to the file extension list like this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .asp

now all files having extension asp will also be parsed by PHP engine.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, alpacinofr and apsivam.

Good advice given here, no need to change the extensions if you don't want to yet. Here is a relative thread in PHP that discusses the same topic, just different extensions.

Do I have to change .html to .php? [webmasterworld.com]

thank you all. good idea to keep all pages in asp. anyway i am using always 2 files .php for programing code and .html for formating purposes. i have been added directive DirectoryIndex index.php for default page

Just one addition. My provider has installed my server with suphp module. Is there any difference for setting up handling .asp extensions as .php

Section global for suphp look like this (Apache2/php5):

#SuPhp
suPHP_Engine on
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php5
AddHandler x-httpd-php4 .php4
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php5
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php4

Do I need add .asp at the end of two lines AddHandler....?

Thanks?

Yes, more than likely you will.
