301 redirect again

[gitschi]

I have some incomming links to old folders, but the linked categories are not longer exist - so I want to redirect to the new category(ies). Example:

OLD: /Test-Cars/ should 301 to: http://www.xxxx.com/Cars/


Redirect 301 /Test-Cars/ http://www.xxxx.com/Cars/ >>>>>> DONT works

Please can somebody help me?

Thanks & KR gitschi

Hello gitschi

The mod rewrite 301 redirect that you would use:

RewriteRule ^Test-Cars/(.*)$ http://www.xxxx.com/Cars/$1 [R=301,L]

in the file. htaccess

301 redirect again is permanent redirection of any link to another link.
