I'm pulling my hair out with a 301 redirect. I've done it for all the kefalonia.co.uk urls except one....

redirect 301 /accomod%20lakithra.htm http://www.kefalonia.co.uk/accommodation-in-lakithra

for some reason http://www.kefalonia.co.uk/accomod lakithra.htm is not going to http: //www.kefalonia.co.uk/accommodation-in-lakithra

Can you help?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mate

it's the %20 in place of the space that's the problem try this instead

redirect 301 "/accomod lakithra.htm" http://kefalonia.co.uk/accommodation-in-lakithra/

RedirectMatch 301 ^/accomod%20lakithra.htm(/\?)$ /accommodation-in-lakithra/

Hi mate this doesn't work as leaving a space causes errors.

RedirectMatch 301 ^/accomod%20lakithra.htm(/\?)$ /accommodation-in-lakithra/

This doesn't work either unfortunately.

that's a shame - tried it out on my server first before I posted and it worked for me. I thought the quotation marks would allow the space

Fraser it worked, I didn't put the quotation marks initially!

Thanks for the help folks!
