If you have PHP installed, you can use the following PHP code:
<?php
header("Location: http://www.newurl.com");
?>
Of course this has the beauty that you can set up a PHP script as a 404
handler, and if you know the old location of a page, then it is very trivial
to automatically re-direct to this new location (since you know the path that
was requested).
We use something like this on the KDE web site:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/www/media/includes/classes/class_handler404.inc?rev=1.4
e.g.
<?php
include("handler.inc");
$handler = new Handler404();
$handler->add("/anoncvs.html","http://developer.kde.org/source/anoncvs.html");
$handler->add("/family.html","/family/");
?>
where the 1st parameter to add() is the requested original URL, and the 2nd
parameter is the URL to redirect to.
