I have a drupal website which has been split up to two separate websites, and now I need to setup some rewrite rules in order to drive traffic to the new site.
Original website looks like this:
http://www.website.com (frontpage)
http://www.website.com/web1/subpage1 (subpage)
http://www.website.com/web1/subpage2 (subpage)
http://www.website.com/subpage3 (subpage)
http://www.website.com/subpage4 (subpage)
All references to subpages that are not in the web1-category have been removed from the website, but the pages are still published and they still show up in Google.
What I need is a rewrite rule that redirects from "website.com" to the frontpage of "new-website.com" if the user tries to access a page that is not the frontpage and not in the web1-category.
I suppose a rewrite-rule checking for the string "web1" in the URI would be the answer to my problem, but unfortunately I have no idea how to write the syntax.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
My htaccess file with @zessx proposed solution:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-website\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.my-website.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web1
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.my-new-website.com [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
This is what you need :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web1
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://new-website.com [L,R=301]
A colleague of mine, found a solution:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web1(/|$)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin(/|$)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule ^([\w/]*)$ http://www.new-website.com [L]`
