Re: moved urls - any advice?
Jsut a reminder: for the map, you’ll need to generate it from the database with the old ids. I would do that for the texts section separately:
<txp:article_custom limit="2000" section="texts" break="" wraptag="" sort="id asc">
<txp:article_id /> <txp:permlink />
</txp:article_custom>Then show the page source and copy that into your text editor (I do it with the page source to avoid getting any markup in there or html shortening things like spaces or tabs). Then do a search and replace on all the urls to make the permlinks match the new destination url. Most text editors have a switchable regex option in the find/change box that will allow you to search for something like /\d{1,} and replace it with nothing, so that you can remove the ids from the destination urls.
If you plan on including the news articles in the rewritemap, repeat the process but for the news section. Finally combine the two text files into one.

Indeed it is what I did.
I’ll be posting here all my steps as these methods are new to me.
I created the newmap.txt (86KB) file and uploaded it to the main domain.
To create the dbm hash file described here I’ve run the following in the terminal.
httxt2dbm -i /home/xx/webapps/xxx/newmap.txt -o /home/xx/webapps/xxx/newmap.map but instead of a .map file I got newmap.map.dir (4kb) and newmap.map.pag (524KB) as indeed is described in the page.
The next step should be to add the directive in the htaccess file and according to the link above it should be: RewriteMap mapname "dbm:/home/xx/webapps/xxx/newmap.map" but this currently returns a 500 error.
Hmmm. Do I need to change mapname with the name of the map? It still returns a 500.

A quick solution for the 404s until I figure it out: on github. Visitors are more important than satisfying google.
