[Xencored]

Hey

is there a way i can redirect all these pages to my main index.php

Due to 4.0 and me no longer needed wordpress i have tons of dead old links

and dont want to miss that traffic

Thanks

p.s i tryed this code in .htaccess without any luck

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
ErrorDocument 500 /index.php

AllowOverride not set correctly ?

And if you're on your own machine, why don't configure everything directly in the Webserver - speeds up things if the lookup for .htaccess in each directory can be skipped.

Hello

The code looks ok so far, still instead of trying it the "htaccess" way you can also do it directly in your Webserver:

<VirtualHost www.example.com>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
ErrorDocument 500 /index.php
...
DocumentRoot /this/is/an/example/

<Directory "/this/is/an/example/">
AllowOverride None
...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This would set your Error Documents directly in the configured Host without any htaccess directives.
Additionally the "AllowOverride None" directive disables "htaccess" completely - Apache is a bit faster then because the lookup for ".htaccess" isn't done.
Instead of writing .htaccess for each single directory, configure it directly in the Webserver config if possible and disable it with "AllowOverride None"
