Moving From Windows to Linux: SEO ISSUE

by slappytheking Posted: 14 years ago 1 replies

So I have to move a site over from a windows server to a linux one (Joomla). I want to retain all the page names (sub pages are .html) and the home page (which has a nice PR) is named default.asp. If I name it index.html then I fear losing all PR as Google will see it as a new page. Is this right?

Is there any way to retain the default.asp on a linux server?

Thanks

HI there,

You can use htaccess (URL REWRITING) to let your server interprated the .asp as .php !

Example:

RewriteRule (.*)\.asp$ $1.php [R=301,L]
