    Default Help with Redirect Please

    I tried redirecting a deadlink to an existing link using Redirect in cPanel but it is still displaying a 404 Error.

    How can I do a redirect from a dead / non-existing link:
    Code:
    http://www.amfufu.com/2008/05/15/next-american-idol-is-david-cook/
    to point to this existing URL:
    Code:
    http://www.amfufu.com/2008/05/16/next-american-idol-is-david-cook/
    Thanks.

    Edit your .htaccess file

    Code:
    Redirect 301 /2008/05/15/next-american-idol-is-david-cook http://www.amfufu.com/2008/05/16/next-american-idol-is-david-cook

    That worked like magic. Now, I know.

    No more 404.. no more broken link.

    Thanks Grim!

    Same thing, that just directly edits the .htaccess file for you, some don't have cpanel or a web panel which edits it for them.

    Cpanel redirect also does not always work.

    Nice very well done, this is an effective way. Good solution GRIM!!

    cPanel is a good interface. Grims solution to redirecting a dead link via the .htaccess file is a step above. I remember some frustrating times with my .htaccess files.

    Not anymore I dug in and learned plenty about the .htaccess file and they can be a powerful tool for webmasters.
