If you run Apache server at the old location, and the original links and new links obey one or a few regular patterns, you could use one or a few RedirectMatch directives.
If there are few patterns, you could use a big enumerated list of simple Redirect directives. An ordinary Apache server can easily be loaded with a million directives; a little slow on 'restart', but very short redirect times when it comes up. If you need more than that, you could look into installing a noid resolver. (google "CPAN noid") -John --- On Thu, 30 Aug 2012, Pottinger, Hardy J. wrote:
Hi, we're in the process of migrating an existing digital library to a new platform, and we want to ensure that old URLs continue to resolve to the items in the new location. The new digital library will be built on Islandora, and I am pretty sure we can just map old URLs to new ones within Fedora Commons. But, in case we run into trouble, I was wondering if anyone might have some experience with an application that's more specific to our use case? Or, heck, if you have already migrated from a DLXS-based digital library to an Islandora-based digital library, and have already sorted out how to handle redirects, I'd love to hear from you.
