Want to direct Folder with subfolders to New Domain

redirecting old folder to new domain

[Om108]

I have a primary domain in which I have a "hobby-folder". This "hobby-folder" has grown so large, I decided to create a new domain for it.

So I want to redirect all the links in my "hobby-folder" to my new domain. Since there are over a hundred links and about 10 subfolders (and I don't want to redirect each page and subfolder individually), would the following redirect work:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/hobby-folder/$ [new-domain...]

Will this redirect all the links and subfolders in my hobby folder to my new domain?

Thanks

No, that would drop the requested filename, and redirect everything to your "home page."

Try:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/hobby-folder/?(.*)$ http://www.new-domain/$1

jdMorgan. Thank you.

There is a problem though. It does not redirect my subfolders in my main "hobby folder". Instead, I get an error page.

For example, my hobby folder is named "Hobby-Folder". I have about 10 subfolders in this folder. The largest being "Scrabble". When I use that redirect, it only redirects the "Hobby Folder" index page to my new domain, but does not redirect the links or subfolders in that main folder.

Am I missing something? Thanks.

Try flushing your browser cache and re-testing, since this is precisely the effect that you'd expect if the results of your old code were cached locally.
