I have completely redone one of my Old FrontPage websites to HTML.
Temp folder is http://www.puertomorelosvillas.com/PMV-2012/index.html
I have questions about the .htaccess file I made. <br />
Hoping some of you experts out there can help… I did read the htaccess PDF from Coffee Cup but didn’t find these issues.
1st – I added Rewrite so all non-www (urls) so they would redirect to www (urls) and index.html redirects to www. (So I would not end up with Google’s duplicate content or lose my backlinks) Did I do it correctly?
2nd – When I did the 301 redirects I redirected some to index.html – since I did the rewrite (above) should I have just redirected to www. (Or is ok?)
3rd – I had a whole lot of old url’s with “spaces” (%20) – I had read you don’t use the %20 in the htaccess file you use a space but use “url” so that is what I did… ok??
3rd – FrontPage has a whole lot of folders that are for the FrontPage Extensions …Do I need to do some kind of redirect with those since they are all gone now??? I just made 301 redirects from my old sitemap.xml submitted to Google I did the whole thing even though some of the url’s were not indexed by Google.
Thanks
