I'm not sure why your cPanel redirect doesn't work but you can try to redirect via htaccess file, too. Here is an article about it.

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes I must be missing something. Will try it again and bounce back with result.

hi there Enes, and thanks. Ok I have been trying some 301 but no luck. They all land on the ----site+com/INDEX..phpp page.
note that the arastta is on site.com/store and not on the route. Any idea where i could fix that?

If you post any real examples, not working, it would be easier for people to spot the mistakes.

Hi thanks for the reply.
here is an example of the url im trying to 301-redirect.

from:

http://www.spot98.net/store/materials/4416.html

to: http://www.spot98.net/store/transfer-materials/flex-vinyl.html

via c-panel (htaccess etc)

spot98.net/store/MATERIALS/4416.html

to

http://www.spot98.net/store/transfer-materials/flex-vinyl.html

end result no redirect:

http://www.spot98.net/store/materials/4416.html

this is a snip from the htaccess file:

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

# Set the 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^spot98\.net$ [OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.spot98\.net$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$

RewriteRule ^store\/MATERIALS\/4416\.html$ "http\:\/\/www\.spot98\.net\/store\/transfer\-materials\/flex\-vinyl\.html" [R=301,L]

Ive tested with chrome and ie browsers.

All re-directs work from url's NOT within the aratta directory like

spot98.net/INFO/somepage.html

any idea of what im doing wrong?

thanks again.
