301 Redirections - Proper way to set up?

Hi - I have an quick and hopefully easy 301 redirect question.
Here is the duplicate title Notice from Webmaster Tools (and this is also showing duplicate content in SEOMoz).
So obviously I need to do a 301 redirect.
The top level menus on the site point to the /about version and not the index.html
the /index.html is NOT the one I want to use for the 301 if possible - does anyone have a suggestion for how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Have you just tried doing the basic issue there and changed title tags?
Had someone ask this on the forums before and over complicating looking at 301's when they just changed names of items and page titles and fixed it
Not sure what you mean about /about etc.
If you have an about page you got several pages related to it? You have a dropdown menu? So you made a folder /about and the landing page index.html?
If not and it is just one page and you did that you do not need to. /about as a page is all you need.
You got to remeber that when  you post on the forums you see all your information and sites, we do not so you need to be detailed or exact in your posts so we can get to the same pooint as you in our heads

  • 301 redirect - best way?

    i've been reading about 301 redirects which talk about modifying either .htaccess or httpd.conf but none of the suggestions i've found are working... my goal: if someone enters example.com, i want the server to change the url to www.example.com
    i've read server admin does not do 301 permanent redirects. does anyone know the best way to do this? thanks.

    Hi Scott,
    I recommend not doing major edits to the config files in the /etc/apache2/sites directory. These are sometimes 'auto-cleaned' of custom edits by Server Admin when editing and committing through it (very annoying). Here's what I did that works well for me and has not been auto-cleaned so far:
    1) Make a dir /etc/apache2/users
    2) Make new files in that dir that have names based on your server's web users, e.g. myuser.conf (should not be system users, and not have their web directories in the /Library/Webserver area, IMHO).
    3) Add *Include "/etc/apache2/users/myuser.conf"* to the end of and inside of the <VirtualHost> directive in your site config file in question from /etc/apache2/sites dir.
    4) Add all your custom edits to the user file you need, in this case the 301 redirect (see below for my favorite add-www-301 redirect). If using BBEdit, make sure to re-lock the files when done, but you can leave them open.
    5) In Terminal run +apachectl -t+ to make sure you have no syntax errors in your config edited files, or the Apache will crash when you try to restart it, taking your sites off-line.
    5) Open /var/log/apache2/error_log, with +tail -F -n 50 /var/log/apache2/error_log+ or in Console on the server.
    5) Then, in Server Admin under Web -> Sites, make a trivial change and reverse it (like checking then un-checking a box) as this allows you to gracefully restart Apache without screwing up the Webcache feature (see Web PDF docs about not using +apachectl graceful+ ).
    6) Go back to your Apache error log and make sure Apache did not crash. If it did, reverse your edits and restart Apache again.
    Here is my favorite add-www-301 redirect:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Google canonical redirect
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^\[^\.\]+\.....?$ \[NC\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$ \[NC\]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 \[R=301,L\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^\\[^\.\\]+\.....?$ \[NC\]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$ \[NC\]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 \[R=301,L\]
    </IfModule>
    As opposed to other redirects that state the name of the domain, this will cover sites that have multiple domains assigned to them and up to four letters in the TLD (like .info). Also, it handles https redirects as well. Always adding (or removing) the www is important to keep your sites page ranking in Google from being diluted by the non www use (or use) of the base domain. You may already know this, of course.
    The new book http://buildingfindablewebsites.com/ explains this well, though its mod_rewrite solution in limited. Caveat: HTTPS part may not work well with older browsers that do not support HTTP 1.1.

  • Proper way to set up an InDesign document for performance?

    Hello there,
    I'm wondering if I am using the product wrong, because I am having a heck of a time with the performance of my documents grinding my computer to a halt.
    I'm starting a new project, it's a 92 page book. On each page will be one or two *hi-res* pieces of art, at around 450dpi. Multiply this by 92, and you get something big. In the past I have simply placed the artwork which creates a link back to the original, and update the original as needed. However the last time I did this, when I got to like page 22, the InDesign document was no longer usable, it just killed the PC (a modern one).
    In that case I was placing Adobe Illustrator .ai files. Maybe that was the reason? In this case, I need to place PSD files.
    So my questions are a) what's the best way to place the files and b) what format should I place the PSDs? I need to export this in PDF form for print.
    Thanks for any help! It's been ages since I've done print work.

    Well, there a couple of vague statements in your question, but I am going to take a quick stab at it before we get into that.
    Yes, when you drop an image (photo, illustration, etc.), into an InDesign file it creates a link and you can edit the original as needed and it will be updated in the InDesign file.
    First make sure you're updating the files one at a time. Select the element you want to "fix", click Edit> Edit Original and make your changes. Save the original file, then check in with the InDesign file and see that the image has updated, then move onto the next.
    Second you can set up these linked files to display within InDesign as low-res versions to keep your system running faster. Give that a try also. You can set it up from View > Display Performance or by Right clicking on the image and selecting Display Performance > Fast Display.
    As for the vague statements, because others will ask.
    What version of InDesign?
    What type of system specifically? Processor, Ram, Video Card, Video Ram, etc.
    What is it doing to your system? Locks, crashes, explodes into pieces?
    p.s.
    Why 450 dpi files?
    What type of files? Tiff, PDF, JPEG, etc?

  • What is the proper way to set up to capture from Flash cards?

    I'm using a 7D for video. This camera uses flash cards. When I choose 'capture' from the file menu the error message says video deck is not connected. Should I plug in the camera to read the video or can I use (preferred) the flash card stuck in a card reader? Obviously just a beginner with this and want to get off to the correct start.

    Yup! If you create a new sequence and place one of your converted clips in it, it shouldn't have to render. If you find that you are struggling with the learning curve of FCE, I would recommend getting one of two training books:

Though I can't vouch for it personally, I have heard from many people who were pleased with their experience learning from this book, and I'm sure it is quite good also.
    This is amazing, First: 1.) A clip doesn't have to render if it is imported using those settings? But it will have to render if I make changes to it and want to view it? Every time I edit and then want to see the changes played back, I have to wait for.....ev.......er while it renders again and before I can see it. That much is always a pain but a necessary one - I thought.
    2.) I always struggle learning new things so nothing new there. I do have Tom's book and that is what is guiding me to be where I am now. I am on page 62 studying 'Strategies for Capturing" today. I must say that what you have added here to my understanding is beyond what is included in the book, so I feel reinforced with the basics of set-up now and even the comment you made elsewhere about "M for Mark Clip." I'm furiously writing notes into Tom's book as I go along and accumulate clearer understanding thanks to your added explainations.
    I know nothing about the "Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4" book by Diana Weynand, but am off on my way to look it up and check it out.
    As evidenced by our discussions here, there are different ways of saying things, and different pieces to every puzzle, so while Tom's book may be complete, I am also getting more by paying attention to the answers I am getting here also.

  • What is the proper way to set character encoding in an HTTPService request?

    I'm trying to get an HTTPService object's request to have
    proper character encoding. If I do nothing, I get "null" inside a
    Java servlet when I call getCharacterEncoding() on the request
    object. If I do this to my Flex HTTPService:
    httpService.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
    charset=UTF-8";
    then I get a valid character encoding (UTF-8) in the Java
    servlet as I should. But the problem is that my HTTPService's POST
    parameters are no longer coming along with the request. If I drop
    the charset value and set this instead in Flex:
    httpService.contentType =
    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    then I get my POST params in my servlet just fine, but of
    course, no charset info.
    (For completeness, I am also setting: httpService.method =
    "POST"; and httpService.resultFormat = "e4x"; as well as the URL.)
    How do I send charset info without interfering with the
    transmission of the POST params? This is a serious flaw for anyone
    doing UTF-8 content, because most servers are going to assume
    ISO-8859-1 if you don't send anything specific. It's interesting
    that Flex is actually encoding in UTF-8. I know, because I am
    currently working around the problem by intercepting the HTTP
    request in my servlet and forcing the character encoding to UTF-8
    before binding the params. That's a lousy workaround, though.
    Hint to Flex 3 developers: It would be much more preferable
    to have a setCharacterEncoding method (or characterEncoding prop)
    on the Flex HTTPService.

    Hello,
    I realize this is an old thread, but the problem still seems
    to exist in Flex 3 and I run into it
    Unfortunately I don't understand the workaround.
    Could someone point out in a bit more detail how this should
    be done?
    Many thanks indeed,
    Peter

  • What is the proper way to set up an encoder on an Elvis prototyping board with Labview 2010?

    I am using a PCI-6024E with an Elvis I and MCU Project Board. I've tried using the quadratureencoderm-series.vi as well as experimenting with the counter channels in the Measurement and Automation Explorer; however I have been unable to find the proper channels to read the data from this encoder. I'm having trouble configuring the counter to work properly. Can anyone tell me which pins I should be connecting the encoder signals to? I've attached a datasheet for the motor and the encoder. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi jns0086,
    I see your problem.  I believe that example was written using Traditional DAQ, a set of drivers and functions that have since been replaced by DAQmx. What version of LabVIEW and Windows are you using?  There are some compatibility issues depending on your version on LabVIEW and your operating system.
    In the meantime, if you have everything connected properly, you should be able to count your edges using one of the built-in LabVIEW examples.  Go to Help>Example Finder and then browse for Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Counter Measurements > Count Digital Events > Count Digital Events.vi.  See if that helps.
    Have a great day,

  • Proper Way to Set Up SSD and HDD Raid0 on P965 Platinum

    I have a P965 Platinum board in my system.  I would like to install Windows 7 on a new Intel SSD, keeping the SSD for OS and programs and a separate RAID0 for storage.  How do I do this using the ICH8R?  I'm confused on what I have to do in the BIOS vs. using the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.  Do I connect all three disks before OS installation and then enter into RAID setup with ctrl+I, only selecting the HDDs for the RAID?  Is the SSD then seen as a non-RAID drive onto which I can install the OS?
    Thanks, in advance, for any help.

    The first thing you need to do is to actually set the Intel ICH8R Controller to RAID Mode in BIOS Setup (Integrated Peripherals -> On-Chip ATA Devices ->   Configure SATA#1 as ....).
    After that is done and all the drives are hooked up, you can access the RAID Configuration Menu and select the disks that are supposed to be part of the Array.  If you do only select your hard drives, you SSD will simply be not part of the RAID Volume and will be handled as a single non-RAID disk.

  • Proper Way to Set Up DNS

    Windows Server 2008.
    I have two domains (goodnewsjail.org and gnbristol.org).  Workstations in one domain are assigned IPs of the form 10.251.0.x and in the other 192.168.1.x.  I have installed DNS, DHCP, and WINS on the domain controllers in both domains.  Both
    domains are on the same WAN (a branch office VPN tunnel).  I have created a forward lookup zone for both domains on the DCs of both domains, and the workstations and their addresses show up in these zones when in the Server  Manager console. 
    HOWEVER, when I try to ping a workstation in one domain from a workstation in the other domain, the ping does not resolve, unless fully qualified.What must I do to make sure all names resolve across the domains.  What settings have I missed?  I would
    really appreciate the help!  Thanks.

    Hi,
    When you provide a server name without DNS suffix, the name will either be resolved via Wins or append its own DNS suffix. So,
    a server name from another domain cannot be resolved. You can configure DNS suffix via GPO:

  • What is the proper way to set up how to stop a web worker?

    The example here uses a pair of bools which is simple and does the job.
    The sample code created when you create a web worker shows using a CancellationTokenSource & a ManualResetEvent which is quite different.
    What's the suggested approach. And if it's CancellationTokenSource & a ManualResetEvent - is there something that explains how best to use them? The sample code provides no hints about how to do this.
    thanks - dave
    What we did for the last 6 months -
    Made the world's coolest reporting & docgen system even more amazing

    Hi David,
    We usually use the worker role to host the long running application process, and we can use the Sleep method to reduce the resource usage like below:
    public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
    public override void Run()
    { while (true)
    Thread.Sleep(10000);
    //your work .......
    public override bool OnStart()
    ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
    return base.OnStart();
    If you prefer to use the CancellationTokenSource & ManualResetEvent with WorkerRole and make your application more consecutive. There is a excellent example provided by Bibhu, I suggest you take a look at it.

  • Integrated Iviews in portal to set in proper way.

    Hi Experts,
    I integrated URL,webdynpro,Transactional,Bw&BSP iviews into the portal.
    Here my question is how to set these iviews in a proper way. i mean i need to give first priority to Transactional iview.then webdynpro,BSP,BW and Url iview.
    I heard that there is a sorting option to get this but i didnt get that address.
    can anyone suggest me to solve this.
    Thanks
    Sreenivas.

    Sreeni,
    You can use sort priority property to arrange the objects. The sort priority is by default numbers between 0 and 100.
    Set the least number to the iview/Workset/Role if you want display them first.
    Make sure that you are setting  sort priority to the corresponding level to arrange them example:
    For example, if you have two roles Role1 and Role2 and each of them havingTwo worksets WS1 and WS2 then, Least sort priority should set to Role2 if you want to display Role2 first over Role1.
    If you want to display WS2 first over WS1 then the least sory priority should set to WS2 .

  • Content managed 301 redirects

    I am trying to work out the best way to allow content authors to create and manage 301 redirects within the CMS. We are using GSF for friendly URLs, but they also want to be able to (for example) create a catchy URL to be distributed on print media that will redirect to an existing page within the site (or potentially to a page on an external site).
    I know that I cannot change the response headers in the JSP, and so am looking at the best way to do so within the existing software stack. The GSTAlias class appears to be almost what I need, but only supports 302 redirects, not 301.
    My current though is that I will implement a custom filter (which will compare the incoming URL against the list of redirects that it retrieves from WCS and send a 301 if needed) and insert it into the filter chain, but I was hoping to get some feedback on this and see if anyone had done this before or knew of a better way to do it.
    Cheers,
    Stephen

    Previously I've done redirects exactly like you, using a custom filter which was installed on the Satellite servers.
    My implementation ended being a bit more complicated since all code using friendly URLs had to be executed within a cached code block due to an earlier design decision. What I ended up with was a setup where the templates could generate some output that could be interpretted by the filter. Like #R#301#http://somepage.com# which the filter picked up. Unfortantely that approach required me to read through the output of the pages and add some caching to often requested URLs in order avoid parsing through the content again.
    If you have GSF on your site as well, you might have a look at com.fatwire.gst.foundation.httpstatus.HttpResponseStatusFilter which enables you to communicate status codes from the ContentServer. Note that proper redirects are not supported, or at least not implemented.
    Also this requires your code to make the decision in a XML based wrapper, since you cannot communicate response codes from JSP.
    If the requirements are quite simple, you can create a basic asset type containing the URL to match and where to redirect to and in your XML wrapper do a very simple sql lookup which should give you enough performance in order to have this executed in an un cached element. The SQL cache will save you for the common requested URLs.
    Please note, that if you are running remote satellite servers I am not quite sure how this will work, if they support handling other response codes and if they can handle additional information found in a 301 redirect.

  • 301 redirects and iWeb index page

    Our site has grown and we will be changing our domain name and hosting co. (We are keeping the old domain active for a while at MME before we change domain name and hosting) I will need to redirect traffic for a while so as not to lose those who have just bookmarked us. Will just redirecting on the index page that iWeb creates (post publish) do that without creating a mess of our page rankings at Google? Currently we are in the top 15 responses for our search terms. Or should i create some other type of redirect? 301? (via cname or htaccess) will that ding me at google? Thanks- try to keep it as simple as possible - I don't code - I experiment and Apple has made it easy.
    jy

    What I would do is purchase the hosting and see if you can have more than one add-on domain. Most web hosts let you do this on one account so it doesn't cost you any more money. You are doing this because you will need a .htaccess file to set up your 301 redirects properly. This is what you should do;
    1) Register your new domain and publish your site to it.
    2) Create a webmaster tools account for BOTH your old and new domain name.
    3) Create a 301 redirect for each individual page to the new corresponding page on your new domain. This can be done with a few lines in your .htaccess file. The file should be in your root folder of your OLD domain. Put this on your .htaccess file (NOTE: This assumes you will have the exact same website structure on the new domain);
    RewriteEngine ON
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewdomain.com/$1 \[R=301,L\]
    OPTIONAL: Use Google's canonical tag on each one of your pages to avoid any issues with duplicate content. Link the old page to it's new corresponding page. This is optional but recommended if you can;
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.newdomain.com/newpage.html" />
    4) Login to your Webmaster Tools account and select your OLD domain. Then select 'Site Configuration' and then 'change of address'. Follow the steps provided (which are basically what I told you above). Step 4 in there is the important one.
    5) Submit a sitemap for your new website. This will make sure you know when Google has indexed your new website.
    6) Important: Even though you have done everything properly there is a chance your rankings will change. To help prevent this, update as many third party links as you can to your new site. This won't be possible for all links since you won't have control over them but you should try contacting the website owners who have linked to you to update their links. You should also try getting new links to your new domain.
    You can find all the sites you have linked to you by logging into your webmaster tools account and clicking your OLD domain. Then go to 'Your site on the web' and then to 'Links to your site'.
    Nothing will be instant here, it will take a few days for everything to update but the above is the way Google recommends you do it.

  • 301 redirect question

    I have a website with a couple thousand pageloads a week and
    a google rank of 5.
    I have set up a blog on the same server in a directory and
    now want to move the blog to the domain name and have the traffic
    and the rank go to the blog rather than the website.
    Some say do 301 redirect.
    Some say just move your blog index.php.
    Some say erase the WWW.domain redirect, leave THAT as the
    website and use the NO-WWW.domain for the blog?
    Any advice on this please?
    RJ

    Thanx Sonjay!
    The website is not going under, it is important, but the blog
    is more important regards bringing in search results. I want the
    arrival to the blog and then go to the website if they want.
    I tested the 301 htaccess and it worked fine, page rank
    carried over and worked instantly. But I had not figured that about
    1000 links and graphic pointers are now wrong! :) Not quite sure
    what to do about that.
    I have most everything for the website in the root and quite
    a bit of the blog there too, I suppose I could move most everything
    in the root to domain/blog/?
    rackjite.com is my domain, and serendipity is the director
    the blog is in.
    So I though I would try the PHP redirect in the index.htm
    file.
    <?php
    header( 'Location: http:/rackjite.com/serendipity/' ) ;
    ?>
    I tried that with the index.php and no slash and so forth
    with no luck. I put it at tippity top as required and it doesnt do
    anything at all. I do not know if this is a good way of doing it
    but I did want to see what actually happened. If the page rank went
    with it?
    I also wonder about putting the blog index.php into the root
    and what would happen. Does it still default to index.htm? if there
    is a index.php.
    My firend with the WWW suggestion has always been a bit weird
    about WWW. He is a WWW advocate of sorts and I dont really know
    what the point is, but it is colored by his prejudice for using
    WWW.
    Im confused on how best to do this.
    One other thing to ponder, the webpage has a grank of 5 and
    the blog even now has google rank of 4, how important is that
    difference?
    I have quite a few links out there to the domain, perhpas I
    could just ask for new links under the blog name and hope they will
    add that too? Been around long enough to know that wont work very
    well though... :)
    thanx again

  • Moved Podcast Feed - 301 Redirect partially working

    Recently moved our RSS feed.
    Old -  http://www.edgemerechurch.org/wordpress/feed
    New - http://edgemerechurchorg/feed/podcast
    I modified .htaccess file to include 301 redirect from old feed to new one. 
    Posts on the new feed are showing in iTunes
    Two issues:
    1. Links
    "Podcast Website" links point to the old webpage in both iTunes, iTunes Store, and iTunes preview.
    I am using Wordpress and Blubrry plugin
    How is the podcast website determined?
    Is it determined by the podcast file location?
    Is there a way to change it?
    2. Album Cover Art
    Updated album cover art has propagated to iTunes app and iTunes program. However the iTunes store and iTunes preview (online) still shows old OLD album art work. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id639715033?i=335063000&mt=2
    I'm not sure why the art is not updating in iTunes Store and iTunes preview (which I think are connected).
    Is there a way to force the iTunes store to update?
    Website:   http://edgemerechurch.org
    Old Feed site: http://edgemerechurch.org/wordpress  (this was set up as a podcast only site)  I want to incorporate them both into one.
    Thanks for any help.

    The original feed URL you give redirects to the new URL you give, except that you have left out the dot before 'org'.
    However this is not the feed that the Store is using. That is at
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/EdgemereChurchOfChrist
    This has episodes up to 7 February, and an image which is the same as that shown in the Store. The feed at

  • What is the proper way to record line numbers in Master/Detail records?

    Guys and Gals,
    Been thinking about this for awhile, but thought it best to ask the people who really know what they are doing.
    What is the proper way to record & show line numbers in a Master / Detail record set?
    For example, take Master/Detail relationship Orders and OrderItems. Orders has a column Document_Number and OrderItems has Document_Number, Line_Number. Line_Number should contain the row number 1,2,3,4 ... etc. for each row in a document.
    Should I ...
    <ol><li>Add a sequence and a trigger in the database? The FusionOrderDemo does this, but then the sequence never "resets" and I've got row numbers that keep incrementing. So one document has rows 4,5,6 and the next document has 7,8,9 when they should both have 1,2,3.</li>
    <li>Programmatically take care of the row numbers? This seems like I'm asking for trouble. Anytime an insert or delete operation gets done, I'll have to iterate through rows and re-assign row numbers.</li>
    <li>Is there a way to assign row numbers in a table iterator (or data collection?) to an entity?</li></ol>
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's looking like #2 is my only option, but if anyone knows different I'd love the input.
    Will

    Thank you both guys.
    As John said, I believe I'm looking for a gap-free sequence per master record.
    The line number of the OrderItems table is the second half of the primary key. The first half of the primary key (DocumentNumber) is the foreign key to the Orders table.
    Think of it like line items on an order or invoice. For example, if you were talking to someone on the phone concerning an invoice, you might say, "The pricing for line item #3 is incorrect." In this case, it's good to have a common reference. Or imagine a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with no row numbers displayed! You'd never get anywhere if you had to explain something over the phone.
    If this is tricky to perform, I take it using a sequence and trigger such as the Fusion Order Demo is the best way to approach the challenge for simplicity's sake?
