.htaccess 301 redirect

[modine]

Hi,

I need to redirect over one hundred pages to a new directory but can not find the right code. Could someone please help me. Everything I've done so far doesn't work only make the site unavailable all together.

Thanks,
modine

how your pages look like ?
e.g. page1, page2 ?

I have a script that redirects to different links but you have to make the mappings.

what do you mean... how do my pages look

[lordspace]

what are you pages - PHP files ?
how do they look e.g.
http://domain.com/page4redirect.html -> http://domain.com/new/page4.html
http://domain.com/page4redirect.php -> http://domain.com/new/page5.html

I got the redirect to work for the one site. However now all pages including a couple other websites get redirected to this site, even though they're are not coming from the directory I'm redirecting. Any ideas on this?

would you paste contents of your .htaccess ?

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all

AuthName www.domain.com
AuthUserFile /www3/domain/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /www3/domain/_vti_pvt/service.grp

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

Redirect 301 /store2/ http://www.domain.com/

[lordspace]

Put that below "RewriteCond"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !somefile.php [NC] # we skip links containing somefile.php

thanks but can you explain a little more because i'm really am not sure what i'm doing. i don't know what you mean when you say put that below. that below what?

[lordspace]

when I put "!" in front of the file, this file gets excluded from mod_rewrite and there will be no redirect for it.

[modine]

thank you but i'm still not sure how to input it. where you have somefile - do i replace that with a file? also what about the php, i don't believe any of my files are php files. i've been working on this for 2 days now and i am getting tired. seems like i'll never get it working.

[lordspace]

first, when you say that something is not working please give some details and even more examples.
Tell me what you expect to happen and then what really happens.

We, programmers, need as much info as possible because sometimes there are a lot of possible issues that may cause things not to work.
This is only my opinion and a little piece of advice.

it's hard to explain but here goes. i have 3 websites under the same root folder, just the other day i decided to move the files from the store2 folder to under the root folder and i did the redirect so visitors could find my site from old links online. this all works fine. 2 of the other folders under the root folder are separate domains that when typed in the address bar should bring the site in, however it's redirecting them to the first site since i made these changes. i'm not sure if it happened before the .htaccess was changed or because i moved files from store2 folder to the root. the site that's redirect correctly is watersportsproducts.com the 2 that are not coming in and are being redirect to watersportsproducts are johnkhadivi.com and westcoastmall.com. let me know if you need any more info and thanks again. modine

If you have diferent folders for each webpage you should add one .htaccess for each webpage. the oldest one folder have to redirect with .htaccess to the news one.
