hi there i am working o a site that has some indexed pages and the pages , i have to use 301 redirects , i have read on the net about it and started working on it i made a test page and gave a link on it which is pointing to a page
-
<a href="PagesA/akbest.htm">check</a>
-
which is to be redirected to a new page through .htaccess
in the .htaccess file i have these lines
-
redirect 301 /ftw/PagesA/akbest.htm http://localhost/ftw/members-detail.php?cust_id=3
-
and the .htaccess file is residing in the htdocs
whereas the page akbest.htm is in
http://localhost/ftw/PagesA/akbest.htm
now some questions
1)Where should i place the .htaccess file
in the root of my site or the server
2)If site then it should be in the
ftw folder and if on the server then it should be in the htdocs directory
3)I am testing it locally is it possible ?
it is not doing anything i have tested it by placing in the root of my site and the root of my server both but it didnt do any thing
should i have to enable something that is disabled
reagrds,
Omer Aslam
