UPDATE: – Solved, thanks to Ryan Irelan!
If you are knowledgeable about .htaccess files I could use some quick help.
Basically, I just need to do what I perceive as a simple (permanent) redirect/rewrite. We are moving some archives and I need requests coming in for:
http://pa.gigavox.com/shows/detailXXXX.html
to go to
http://podcastacademy.com/shows/detailXXXX
The XXXX represents a 4 number sequence.
I have this in the subdomain’s (pa.gigavox.com) root but it is not working.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} pa.gigavox.com
RewriteRule ^/shows/detail(.*).html http://podcastacademy.com/shows/detail$1 [R=301,L]
Any ideas? Post a comment or I can be contacted at: michael AT mwgblog.com
Thanks!
Here is the solution via Ryan:
# Redirects for old posts
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^shows/detail(.*).html http://podcastacademy.com/shows/detail$1 [R=301,L]
Apparently there was an extra “/” in there. Thanks Ryan!
Posts in the "Asides" category are short micro-blog posts. These were an early custom version of an update before Twitter/Facebook. Just a title, there is no additional text.

I had to do a few redirects recently for our business site and used htaccess (and it works great). I found everything I needed to know about redirects from this post. http://www.stevenhargrove.com/redirect-web-pages/ Hope that helps!

12/27/2007 at 7:00 pmRemove the forward slash on Line 4 so it reads
RewriteRule ^shows/detail(.*).html http://podcastacademy.com/shows/detail$1 [R=301,L]
That should work!
