You could also spider all the URLs in the old site, write a little PHP handler (PHP seems to be there for one of the sites) and write your own dispatcher. known URL go this way, new URL go that way.
This makes you more independent on what they run and what crazy stuff they come up with next. also writing complex dispatch tables in mod_rewrite will slow down Apache and will make you age a lot faster :) cheers Lenz On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 8:47 AM, David Neilsen <[email protected]> wrote: > Also note there is mod_proxy_html that can handle changing URLs, but it > seems unlikely that Apache would be used on a non PHP setup. > > http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_html.html > > And if the site did not require anything dynamic you could with wget to > create a static copy: > > wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension > --convert-links --restrict-file-names=windows --exclude-directories='/auth' > --domains www.currentwebsite.co.nz http:// <http://www.inghamdriven.com/> > www.currentwebsite.co.nz/ > > http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget > > > > On 20 August 2014 14:09, Thom Toogood <[email protected]> wrote: > >> If it's an apache server you should be able to do this with >> either mod_proxy or mod_rewrite. >> >> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html >> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html >> >> >> >> On 20 August 2014 10:43, Mike Little <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Thanks David.
