What is the webserver platform? &nbsp;IIS, Apache, something else???<br />
<br />
Do you have access to the webserver to make changes? &nbsp;PorterGraphics is absolutely right on custom 404 error pages and something that is done all of the time.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a site with many pages which have external links pointing to them.<br />
<br />
I've renamed many pages on my site.<br />
<br />
<br />
So now lots of those external links produce 404 pages on my site which is bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Question:<br />
How can I (.htaccess?) redirect (301) all of those 404 pages to the homepage, so if a link points to http://mydomain.com/invalid_page.html<br />
<br />
and that page doesn't exist, I want the user when clicking on that link to get to: http://mydomain.com<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
