How To redirect the whole prestashop with 301?

[Gfinfo web]

Hello,

Does anyone know how do I redirect the whole prestashop from domaninA.com.br to domainB.com.br using redirect 301.

Using prestshop 1.6.

I really have no ideia what i am doing here. First time doing this kind of thing.

Really need baby steps here. 

If anyone can help Thank you.

You need a .htaccess file at your old domain domaninA.com.br with the content:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://domainB.com.br/$1 [L,R=301]

Of course, you have only success If the new domain matches exactly the old one and if the rewrite-mod is activated at your server.

Thank you Whiley,

I just have to corrcet one thing as i got new information.

I was informed it is actually a new E-Commerce, is not just a migration, is not even a prestashop instalation. 

It defenetly will not match exactly the links. 

Do you know how will this impact the redirect?

Once again thank you for the information.

Something like this does not require a module, a few lines in .htaccess should be enough.

.htaccess file, located in the file root directory.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
    RewriteRule (.*)$ https://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

If you are moving from domain A to domain B the safest way is:

• First set the new domain in Prestashop (EO and Urls settings)
• Then ask your hosting provider to set a 301 permanent redirect from the old domain to the new one.
• Finally clear your Prestashop cache so Google sees the change properly.

This keeps SEO value and send visitors  automatically to the new domain with no issues.
