It will install a folder under you settings in the backend. If a site changes its name (or url), it will automatically redirects the old url to the new url. You could also manually create the redirect by simply choosing a page you want your url to redirect to and filling in the deleted or old url.
Re-direct entire website
I have multiple websites within one Umbraco installation.
I recently deleted a website and wish to re-direct all traffic from that website to a specific page on a different website (within Umbraco).
At the moment, I've setup a template with this macro:
It re-directs traffic from www.domainname.com to www.otherdomainname.com/page.aspx.
The only problem is, if a user types in www.domainname.com/anypage.aspx it just gives them a 404 error.
Is there a way to re-direct ALL traffic from www.domainname.com to the page of my choice within Umbraco?
Thanks
You can set up a URL rewrite. Either on IIS or in the UrlRewriting.config file
You could also use this package: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker
It will install a folder under you settings in the backend. If a site changes its name (or url), it will automatically redirects the old url to the new url.
You could also manually create the redirect by simply choosing a page you want your url to redirect to and filling in the deleted or old url.
This would solve your problem.
