Search Engine returning multiple 404s, Redirect 404 urls based on node id in the url I am using Drupal 7. Many of my url paths (up to 6,000) have moved to new url paths with no 301 redirect so they are returning lots of 404s on google. i have paths like /articles/bla/bla-bla/12345 which moved to /articles/bla-new/something/12345

Since the old path which now returns a 404 has the node id in the url at the end, i want to redirect a path like this "/articles/bla/bla-bla/12345" to node/12345 once the system detects a 404

Any suggestions for using .htaccess redirect rules or other module to achieve this?

I've tried this: RewriteRule ^articles/*/+ node/+ [R=301,L] but it doesnt look right.

I need some help. thank you in anticipation
Try 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^articles/.*/.*/(.*)$ /node/$1 [R=301,L]


of not worked use your absolute URL

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^articles/.*/.*/(.*)$ http://www.yourdomin.com/node/$1 [R=301,L]
