301 redirect.

[mammu]

I just changed the domain of my site.

After i setup the board on new domain, i just added this code in .htaaccess file of new board.

#  Enables or disables runtime rewriting engine 
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
#  Site has permanently moved to new domain
#  old_domain.com to new_domain.com
RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}   ^www.old_domain.com$   [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$   http://www.new_domain.com/$1   [R=301,L]

I am not sure if i am sucessfully done with the job of 301 redirect.
Or is there anything else i am supposed to do.
How do i know if it is working successfully for the board?

Use the codes below:-
Works perfectly to redirect my board to a new location and you'll not loose your search engine rankings too...

Note:- You do not have to put these codes in .htaccess instead create a separate asp/asp.net/php file as required and set it as your default document for the domain. Its that easy !!

ASP Redirect:-

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.your-new-url.com/"
%>

ASP.NET Redirect

 <script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.your-new-url.com");
}
</script>

PHP Redirect

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );
?>

If you want to check whether your job is successfully done or not or to check whether your redirect is Search Engine Friendly or not.. enter your URL that is been redirected, here..

Header(”HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
$redireccion = “http://www.newsiteforexample.com”.$_SERVER[”REQUEST_URI”];
Header(”Location: $redireccion”);

Sorry, this es the best option (i use it for redirect warez-master.uni.cc to warezmaster.net):
in the old domain upload this htaccess:

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.warezmaster.net$1

replace ..:::Warez-Master:::.. La mejor comunidad de descargas, El mejor software Gratis! with you url.

With it, if somebody enter in yourolddomain.com/asd/cars.html this htaccess automaticaly redirect to yournewdomain.com/asd/cars.html (too redirect the robots and google xD and you don't loose your pagerank.

Sorry for my english, but i speak and talk spanish...
