Redirect from current instance to new instance

[Jon Kocen]

I have to move my current JIRA instance to another instance with a different URL. I would like to have the current JIRA instance to have a page that tells the users we moved and provide a link to the new JIRA instance. 

How do I "force" all calls to JIRA to go to this redirect information page whenever someone clicks on a link that takes them to the current JIRA instance.

My redirect page will just say that we moved and here is the new URL.

This depends on what server OS your instance is hosted on.  The easiest way to handle this would be at the DNS level and just put a global redirect to a new web page.

If you are on Windows you can use IIS redirect if you are on linux you could .htaccess.
