Hi Morten

301 from where? Is it an upgrade? If so, you can setup 301's in the MC: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Dynamicweb-On-line-Manual/Management-Center/Web-and-HTTP/Direct-paths.aspx

Hello again
I am aware that you can make 301 redirect through MC, but my problem is that the customer has changed the names of the product groups causing a lot of 404 pages.
What I would like is to point directly to a product, as I see it, it is only possible to point to a page.

I have a product that was previously here:
http://www.hemglass.se/Produkter/E-SHOP/Fryst-mat-och-Pizza/Pulled-Pork.aspx

Now the product is here but I can not get the old url to point into the page here:
http://www.hemglass.se/Produkter/E-SHOP/Fardig-mat/Pulled-Pork.aspx

Hi Morten

You can add the destination with querystring parameters, see dump. Then DW will add another 301 to the right URL.

Or you can use web.config redirects then: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httpredirect

Hi Nicolai, I can't see the dump regarding querystring parameters - Can you re-post?

Yes!

At least it's working one URL at a time - so on 600+ URL's it might not be the right solution.

Just remember to rename or delete the old page where you had or still have the Product Catalog attached - you can't have it Unpublished or hidden, that will block the redirect. And if you have manually attached a product group per page, then exclude the &GroupID=X from the bottom field, otherwise you would get both the group name and the page name in your URL – Don't think it'll work by only checking the "Do not include URL in subpage URLs" checkbox on the page properties. The products are not subpages to the page.

Just a writeup for future reference to others :-)
