    .htaccess redirect help

    Hello All

    I have a question about a .htaccess file for 301 redirects. At this time we have about 75 crawl errors and I would like to fix them with 301 redirects. I have to do this myself. I can not use the company that did our website, or I should say, I will not use them.

    So, here is the first few lines of our .htaccess file

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    # RewriteRule (.*).htm$ /.cfm


    this is an example of a 301 redirect currently in our file

    RewriteRule Acer-CB2-Putter_p_3.html /product/acer-cb2-putter-190.cfm [L,R=301]

    Next is a crawl error and url I would like to redirect:

    http://www.crosshairgolf.com/Acer-XP-905-Irons_p_24.html (crawl error)

    Redirect to:

    http://www.crosshairgolf.com/department/golf-iron-set-4.cfm

    So, for me to add this to the .htaccess file would it be as follows

    rewriterule Acer-XP-905-Irons_p_24.html /department/golf-iron-set-4.cfm [L,R=301]

    Does this seem correct to you

    Thank You

    Al

    A regular 301 redirect would be:

    redirect 301 /Acer-XP-905-Irons_p_24.html http://www.crosshairgolf.com/department/golf-iron-set-4.cfm
