problems with .htaccess in 301 redirect

[fence4fun]

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.

Why not leave htaccess alone and change the filenames from html to htm?

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

And the other errors are?

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.
