Hi all - just going through the process of changing servers from moonfruit to 123 reg and was advised to use a 301 in this thread as my url page titles had changed despite my domain www.swordfightingevents.co.uk remaining the same e.g. /promotional_work.html/12334567 (moonfruit uses a sys generated id number after each title) became /promotional_events.html.

The problem is that I wrote my .htaccess file with a redirect line for each page but for some reason four of these aren't working. The problems seem to be random, for example, when I ask for /links/1234567 to go to /links.html it goes to /links.htm instead and gives a "page not found" error.

I've tried rewriting, checked urls and even started from scratch but it still won't work. Any ideas?

All help appreciated.
 
Cheers - just done it and that's solved one of the problems. Other errors not caused by that are still there though.

No worries - all sorted now.

Notepad was saving the file with a .txt addon so I've spotted it and changed it - all working now and thanks for your help.
