After moving to a new server and exporting/importing my entries, I have this situation:
old url (404 now) to new url | difference
001031.html to archives/002067.html | 1036
000931.html to archives/001968.html | 1037
000973.html to archives/002010.html | 1037
000885.html to archives/001923.html | 1038
000886.htmlto archives/001924.html | 1038
000660.html to archives/001733.html | 1073
I figured this out by Googling content on these test pages and seeing what URL Google returned.
So there is no one calculation that gives the new URL from the old URL.
Would there be a clever way to automate something that would produce an htaccess file with all the correct rewrite commands to fix all this?
