将joomla 1.5重定向到joomla 2.5时出错

Question

I have this website: home-bradgardnerconstruction-org which was built on joomla 1.5 without the sef link so the links looks like this

www-bradgardnerconstruction.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17:admin&catid=15:testimonials&Itemid=13

I've built a new website which is this 'bradgardnerconstruction-com' on joomla 2.5 in which the links look like this

www.bradgardnerconstruction-com/brad-gardner-construction/brad-gardner-construction-company-profile.html

I am trying to redirect the old website using this code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^home\.bradgardnerconstruction\.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.home\.bradgardnerconstruction\.org$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.bradgardnerconstruction\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

but is giving me a bunch of 500 errors and 404 errors on google webmaster basically what is doing is changing the links from

home.bradgardnerconstruction-org/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=16&Itemid=16

to this

http://www.bradgardnerconstruction.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=16&Itemid=16

and is messing up everything.

Any advise?

Answer 1

Not sure you are going to be able to change the old URLs to the new, unless there is a strong logic between the old URLs and the new that you could calculate, eg if all the itemids and article ids are exactly the same as before.

If not, I think you'd have to write an individual redirect for every page of the old site, or just redirect all pages to the homepage.

If you have to do individual redirects, you could either write them in the htaccess file or keep that as it is and use the redirect component in the 2.5 version, which would be redirecting a redirect but can be simpler to set up (though not much tbh).
