Htaccess or url rewrite module for Magento 301 redirects?

[Tylerj]

I need to do about 6000 redirects for a Magento site. The pages no longer exist. I have tried the URL rewrite module but it isn't working for me and I don't want to do 6000 redirects in the htaccess files. Any suggestions?

Hi there.

Any idea why rewrite rules are not working?

P.S. another way would be to use extension, but i believe they are not free.

I figured out what to do. The ID Path can not be the same as the request path. So if anyone else runs into this that is how I fixed it.

Awesome! Sometimes you know the answer right after you ask the question
