301 redirect for *.asp files

**69me** · 04-09-2008, 07:37 AM

Hi

I have just moved a very large ASP coded online shop into a new php online shop.

I have directed the .asp main categories to the proper .php file using 301 redirects.

Is there a quick way I can 301 re-direct all other (*.asp) files to say my all_products.php page?

Cheers

Code:

<%
response.status = "301 Moved Permanently"
response.addheader "Location","http://new_uri"
response.end
%>

Are you changing all the page and folder names? If they'll be the same, you might consider an internal redirect, so the url doesn't change as far as the outside world is concerned, but the server parses asp files as if they were php?

Code:

<%
if lcase(right(request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME"),4))=".asp" then
  response.redirect "/all_products.php"
end if
%>

sorry...im on a linux server now so cannot process asp code as suggested above.

It's really a 301 / htaccess solution I'm looking for if possible...

cheers

It's always handy to know these things

@nyef;
Using response.redirect in ASP sends a 302 response to the user agent not a 301.

Apache & .htaccess is not my forte but;

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 *.asp http://www.example.com/pagename.php

should work I think.
