Redirection setup
Hi there,

Here is our situation that our client is currently using Kentico for their website (not sure what version that is). However, we have requested to rebuild the website using the latest Kentico 5.5 R2 with complete new design and functionalities. Thus, we have create a new website using Kentico 5.5 R2 with a new environment.

One thing we need to do is when the new site is launched, we need to setup 301 redirect from the old URLs to new URLs.

Is there a module in Kentico that helps this migration or we need to build a custom 301 redirect module to handle the redirection?

Regards,
Dion

RE:Redirection setup
Hello,

There is a built in functionality in Kentico CMS for such a requirement. The approach is the same as in the following forum thread: http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums.aspx?forumid=44&threadid=23466.

You can find more about the URL rewriting possibilities in our Developer's Guide:
