URL change of Blog (same host, same database) | WordPress.org

Hi,

I’m going to be moving my blog from http://mac-abc.moridin.pl to http://www.makoweabc.pl today. It will be just a domain name change – the same provider is hosting both at the moment (and will continue to do so). The database will remain in the same place.

Note: http://www.makoweabc.pl is currently a simple redirect to mac-abc.moridin.pl.

I think I know how to do this, however I still want my old links to be redirected to the new blog.

Example: someone tries to go to: http://mac-abc.moridin.pl/2010/02/obsluga-dock-screencast/

I want it to redirect to: http://www.makoweabc.pl/2010/02/obsluga-dock-screencast/

How would I go about doing this? I’m assuming .htaccess is the way to go.

PS. Both domains will be linked to the same folder after the change.

Don’t know if it helps, but you can search and replace your database to change the old url to the new:

OK I did it with this finally – took a few hours to find it bah!
```
# 301 redirect
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mac-abc.moridin.pl$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.makoweabc.pl/$1 [R=301,L]
```
Hope it will work on search engines properly.
