Setting up 301 redirect - do I need to set up a root folder
Posted: 2013-06-29 14:56
I want to rename one of my web pages so I need to set up a 301 redirect.
Currently, I just drag and drop individual files (my web pages) on the right and I did set up a file called .htaccess for the 301 redirect, but it does not work.
These are all of the folders on the right as they appear now:
_db_backups
aspnet_client
stats
And these are the files as they appear now:
gdform.asp
google longnumber.htm
welcome
.htaccess
index.htm
chapter-twenty.htm
and my other pages listed as individual files
I think I set up the 301 redirect properly, but I suspect that the .htaccess needs to be in a folder with the rest of my website. If so, how do I set up that folder and what do I name that folder?
