Hi guys,

Just need confirmation on a 301 redirect please guys.

Im changing over from a shared linux hosting to a VPS server and all my webpages end in .phtml

Dreamweaver doesnt like .phtml files so id like to change my files to .html.

Question is on a linux server, how can I set up a 301 redirect from .phtml to .html

So to sum it up I want any link found in google to 301 redirect to the new.phtml extention and google to eventually replace the indexed pages in google with the new .html ones

Ive read on the site about a htaccess redirect?

Can someone tell me what i need to put in please

cheers

No need for redirects, just open httpd.conf and add .phtml to the list of extensions to be parsed as PHP

Hi Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

That httpd.config file is that a standard file I will find on my server?

When you say it wil parse it as php what exactly does that mean?

by adding .phtml will that just mean the server will recognise .phtml as a valid extension? If so that will do nicely rather than redirecting.

Look forward to your reply.

Hi,

I cant find this httpd.config file anywhere.

I even redeployed the server and reinstalled Linux CentOS again and still that file is not there.

Is there any other way of doing it? I cant see any way to do it in Plesk either.

Cheers

Hi thanks for that but the file does not exist.

Ive been into every single folder and its not there :-(

Ive uploaded all my files but the site will only show if I change the extention from .phtml to .html

If I cant make it accept .phtml then is there a way to 301 it to the new .html extensions?

The site was ment to be live by the morning but im running out of time and its only this holding me back

Check with your server company on how to do it.

Dreamweaver doesnt like .phtml files so id like to change my files to .html.

I'm sure there is a way to tell Dreamweaver to handle new extensions as known ones (i.e. handle phtml as html)

I'm not 100% certain on that but it jogs a memory somewhere so it could be worth investigating - might save you a load of hassle.

httpd.conf there's is no 'ig' on the end of it and you should find it in /etc/httpd/ you will probably need to logon via SSH to edit it.

hi chris, ive downloaded putty and i search by typing whereis httpd.conf but comes up with the following

httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd.event /usr/sbin/httpd.worker /usr/sbin/httpd /etc/httpd /usr/include/httpd /usr/share/man/man8/httpd.8.gz
