.htaccess Help

[FirefoxRocks 0]

I have seen examples for redirecting one file to another using htaccess, redirecting directory structures and other things. However, I want to redirect a directory of files to one file in the root directory. How do I do this?Bare minimum: Send a HTTP 301 status code and redirect the user to a specific page.Optimal task: Send a HTTP 410 status code for the page/resource that the user is trying to access and then redirect the user to a specific page.How do I do this via htaccess or PHP?

You could use DirectoryIndex in each htaccess, or something like this in the root dir. Redirect ^/*/$ / 301

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying. Could you please tell me what to put in the .htaccess file?

He just said it.Use this: Redirect ^/*/$ / 301
In the root directory.
Give him credit not me.

Wouldn't that redirect ALL directories to the root directory? I just want to redirect one, not all directories.

Then this.Redirect ^/bladir/$ /blafile.php 301

That code only gave me an internal server error (HTTP 500). I tried 302, 301 and 410 and it still does the same thing.

Do you mean that you really created a working /blafile.php and the 301 redirect does not work, or do you mean that you don't understand the /blafile thing ?

This is my .htaccess file:

Redirect /xkingdom http://feral.portal.trap17.com/Redirect ^/wdl/$ /gone.php 301

The first line works, the second line doesn't. It actually returns an Internal Server Error:

Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@portal.trap17.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I have the gone.php file in the root directory of my subdomain.

Try the number after the first line as well.
