Make your error 404 page tell them the resource may have moved and to go to the homepage. That could be a temporary solution until you get the url rewriting working.

The problem with that is, I'd have to put an html in every single folder under that main folder where my old site resided. I had several hundred folders previously, and that would quite a bit of time to put one in every single folder there. I was hoping there was a more elegant solution anyway with the url rewriting.

I could do that, but I host multiple sites on my web server machine. So if a 404 came up while browsing one of the other sites it would confuse and misdirect the user. |

If you're using X2 and set up a new VHOST for each site then you can set 404 pages independantly of each website.

Try this Rewrite Rule:
Virtual Path Regular Expression: ^/site/(.*)$
If this rule matches: Perform an external redirection
Redirect to: /newsite/$1
Status Code: 301 - Moved Permanently |
