301 redirects

I’m trying to direct multiple pages of an old domain to a new domain). I’m trying to understand what’s wrong with my .htaccess file . Any thoughts?

 #DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
	RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
	RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  !^$
	RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0
redirect 301 http://www.old-domain.com/winter2011.asp http://www.newdomain.biz/

Re: 301 redirects

In one of my sites where I have redirects, they are located immediately above the closing </IfModule>.

Also, I presume both domains must point to the same directory, because if your www.old-domain.com is located elsewhere, that is where you need the redirects. In my own case where I have this, my line does not begin with a domain, e.g.

...
redirect 301 /winter2011.asp http://www.newdomain.biz/winter/
</IfModule>
#php_value register_globals 0

Well, client wants old domain to point to a new domain…for now. We’re testing stuff on the new domain. Once done, the new domain no longer exist and will simply point to the old domain

But there is no directory with the new domain. Just the domain itself.

Re: 301 redirects

As jakob says, the redirect will only work on the server which has the old domain. But you can test your redirects anyway.

redirect 301 /winter2011.asp http://www.newdomain.biz/winter/ will redirect http://www.newdomain.biz/winter2011.asp to http://www.newdomain.biz/winter
