Redirect URLs in in Apache server .htaccess file

Searched words:

apache .htaccess redirect

Within the mod_rewrite directive....

# Various rewrite rules. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on

...right below where Drupal's default .htaccess has the rewrite base option, we can add this:

# Redirects from old site RewriteRule ^leadership.php$ /community/leadership [NC,R=301,L]

We can have as many rules like that as we want. It's not the fastest way to redirect but it's faster than making Drupal do it internally.
