How to do 301 Redirection ?

I have little knowledge about how to implement 301 redirection through .htaccess so i need some help from you experts.

I have a website like http://www.mywebsitename.com/members/ (1)

Now I want to move it to http://www.mywebsitename.com/ (2)

Just only the specific (1) url redirects to (2) and all other type of urls should remain intact.

So if I have to redirect (1) domain to (2) what will be the final .htaccess file?

 

I would like someone to explain this also,.......hopefully someone will post something.

 

How to create 301 Redirects

 

I'm primarily a Windows guy and therefore no .htaccess expert but that question is probably better asked in a programing or server solutions forum.

Even though your question relates to SEO, you probably won't get many answers here - 1000 idiots can't answer you by saying "you must make more back linking strategy"

 

here is your question answer

create a file in http://www.mywebsitename.com/members/ name it index.php and paste this php code in index.php <?php
header( 'Location: http://www.mywebsitename.com/' ) ;
?>

this is it
