301 redirect help!!

[offthedome]

Hi, I'm trying to work with tutorials for .htaccess files to do 301 redirects, but either I suck or they suck

Anyway, hopefully someone can just tell me how to do this. I need to do the following:

1. make example.com/folder/ go to example.com/folder/index.php
2. Make a specific folder example.com/ccc/ddd/eee/ go to example.com/ccc/ddd/eee/page01/

Can someone just tell me how to do this?

.htaccess file:

redirect 301 /folder/ http://example.com/folder/index.php
redirect 301 /ccc/ddd/eee/ http://example.com/ccc/ddd/eee/page01/

Sweet. I'll try it tomorrow.

That's how to redirect just one or a few pages with the .htaccess file. If you want to redirect many pages using rules (eg: all the sub-pages of a directory to the same page in another directory), you'll need a rewrite rule.

the way you wrote that code, it seems the .htaccess file goes into the base folder. I need the .htaccess file to be located in /folder/, i.e. the same folder as index.php

just change the roots around to suite

aslong as the redirect 301 are in they will work to go to the root you need

[alainkun]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Its to rewrite all your URLS, to rewrite only some change rule. for example.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule /ccc/ddd http://example.com/ccc/dd/page1 [L,R=301]
