Have you tried them both together? That is,
Redirect permanent /olddirectory/ http://myDomain.com/newdirectory/
Redirect permanent /olddirectory http://myDomain.com/newdirectory/
The first one should catch anyone who has a trailing slash, and the second
should catch anyone who doesn't.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the quick reply.
> Have you tried
> Redirect permanent /olddirectory http://myDomain.com/newdirectory/
Yes, that's my current sytnax (see my original post). Works for requests for
olddirectory but not for requests for olddirectory/.
> How about
> Redirect permanent /olddirectory/ http://myDomain.com/newdirectory/
Yes, tried that as well. That works for requests for olddirectory/ but
requests for olddirectory (no trailing slash) results in a 404. AND if I
include both your suggestions, then if someone requests olddirectory/ they
get olddirectory// -- and that nasty 404.
This is why I think I need some sort of wild carding and/or mod re-write.
Regards,
Bob Haroche
