301/redirect noob...

I'm trying to a simple 301 redirect throught .htaccess and I'm having trouble making it work. The site is hosted at GoDaddy.

I've tried 2 different types:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/aboutus.html http://www.pacificbulletproof.com/about-us/index.html [R=301,L]

AND...

RewriteEngine on
redirect 301 /aboutus.html http://www.pacificbulletproof.com/about-us/index.html

...and still I get nothing.

I know you have to do funny things in the file like "make sure you hit ENTER after you put the code in" ...but I'm not sure I know if that's right.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I got it.

 

Hi.

Could you tell me what you did? I'm struggling with this at the moment.

Thanks.

 

Add me to the list of how did you do that at godaddy ?

 

Here it is not sure why I could not get this to work earlier
Copy the following code in to a notepad file
name it .htaccess upload to the root
replace yourdomain with site name

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
