Page Redirection

erdirect after bad page request

[webstudio]

hi there,

when redeveloping a web site it is impossible to keep the same file names for every page, esspecially when the total site sructure changes.

i am in the process of redeveloping a site, but once the new site is live i am interested in seeing how to make any requests for old pages redirect to the home page of the new site.

i have often seen the following paegs displayed in the case of a bad request:
--this page has been moved
--An error has occured
or, simply a redirection to another page.

Any information on how this can be achieved would be helpful. I am only assuming that it's a JavaScript solution.

Thanks
Andreas

You could use a perl script for a custom error page (.htaccess) and use that to determine which page to refer the user to.
