Please help me with 301 redirect..

[EGS]

Hello..

I need to do a 301 redirect but it's not working..
I need to redirect http://www.mysite.com/old-page.html to http://www.mysite.com/new-page-structure/

As you can see, I'm redirecting an HTML file to a whole directory, as that's the structure now.

I have to do the files individually..

Can someone please help me? It's not working for me.
This is my current code:

Code: Select all

Redirect 301 /sell-mmorpg-accounts-currency.html http://www.egamingsupply.com/mmorpg-market/?$

I had to add the "?$" at the end of the / because it didn't work without it...but now it's ugly and adds the "?$" in the URL.

Please help me.

The first one adds "?page=mmorpg-accounts-currency.html" to end of the URL making a 404 error.. (I think is caused by CMS I am using..and contents already in .htaccess)

The second one adds a "?" to the end of the URL so that it's "/?"..but it does load, not sure if that's SE-friendly though..

Third one also adds "?page-mmorpg-accounts-currency.html" to end of URL making a 404 error..

Please help me, as now we are losing rankings..
I really appreciate the help you've been giving me.

This is our .htaccess file (we will remove it once problem is resolved). For some reason we can not have as many 301 redirects as we'd like (as seen below) because we encounter a 500 internal server error, so I had to delete all but the first 3 redirect 301 lines from the .htaccess file to keep my server running...but I'd like to do what is displayed below:

<!--Fixed -->

Can you please help us figure out why the above .htaccess file doesn't work, and why it displays a 500 internal server error instead of functioning?

You fixed it? What was the problem?

If not, you need to post (or PM it to me) your .htaccess file.
