Migrating an old non joomla site to joomla - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i transfering hand built website joomla. several of links within old site liike www.mydomain.com/main/locatormap.asp represent link many other websites point myself point within site.

i have not found way create alternate link within joomla point new joomla link location. or alter of links match older links. suggestions?

have looked using .htaccess file store redirections? here example:

code: select all

rewriterule ^old-folder/some-address.html$ index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1592&itemid=1601 [nc,l]

sef extensions sh404sef have option create redirections, , easier manage editing .htaccess file manually because syntax errors produce dreaded message '500 internal server error'.
