[thelist] Trouble with .htaccess Redirects and a Tip

[Means, Eric D]

Gotcha.  What if you do

Redirect permanent /oldirectory http://myDomain.com/newdirectory
?

It'll force as many as three total redirects (= not great), but I would
think it would cover everything adequately.

Yes, I've tried them together. Your suggestion is an intuitive one, but
Apache doesn't work like that. Instead, as I said in my last post, when I do
combine the two rules if someone types in olddirectory/ they're sent to
newdirectory//.
