How to 301 redirect all pages to the same pages on new domain

Question

I'm moving my site from old-domain.com to new-domain.com with exactly the same pages, e.g., if old-domain.com has a page1.html (i.e., old-domain.com/page1.html) then the new domain has the same page, i.e., new-domain.com/page1.html

I tried this in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

But only while old-domain.com will redirect to new-domain.com, old-domain.com/page1.html will not redirect to new-domain.com/page1.html

Thanks!

Solution 1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Solution 2

Try this in your htaccess

Redirect 301 / http://www.new.com/

This will redirect (and map) all your pages from http://old.com/page1 to http://new.com/page1

I've tried this and it doesn't work on my site. Also no luck from other developers stackoverflow.com/questions/15167630/…

You might need to add RewriteEngine On & RewriteBase / first
