Question

I am using Yii framework, and I have a problem with redirect. I want to redirect from a old url which apears in google search to my homepage. But the redirect does not get effected and I get the 404 error. Can I specify somehow that .htm extentions wouldn’t get 404 error and instead redirect to the homepage?

Here is the redirect in my htaccess file:

Redirect /file\s_mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano.htm http://marionettecolla.org/

the old url is this:

http://www.marionettecolla.org/file%20_mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano.htm

and I want to redirect it to the home page:

http://www.marionettecolla.org/

Try this :

Redirect /file%20_mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano.htm http://www.marionettecolla.org/

If you want to use regular expression try this :

RedirectMatch /file[ ]_mostra_milano/mostra_marionette-milano\.htm$ http://www.marionettecolla.org/

Last but not least, here is an online .htaccess generator for creating or updating your .htaccess.
