Ok, I have an old web page where I want the entire page to redirect to a new
one.

The old one is (some content edited)

http://intergate.ca/personal/name/index.htm

The new web page is:

http://www.newpage.com

I have made an .htaccess file using notepad, making sure it's not saved as a
..txt file.

Notepad has wordwrap off.

In the file I have:

redirect 301 / http://www.newpage.com

I have uploaded it to the root directory of the old site using CuteFTP in
ascii transfer mode.

Now when I access http://intergate.ca/personal/name/index.htm

It wants to go here:

http://www.newpage.compersonal/name/index.htm

That is the exact URL that I get above, except for "newpage" and "name" have
been changed.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

JB
