index.htm to domain.co.uk

I have this in the .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=permanent,L]
Redirect 301 etc etc (various - all working OK)

I have tried adding a Redirect 301 statement to redirect index.htm (and ideally index.html) to domain.co.uk

Redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.domain.co.uk/

Every time I try, I get a home page error message saying it cannot resolve the redirect.

Help please

 

If you are creating a permanent redirect, why not do it at the domain level? It's better for SEO anyway.

If you still wish to do it from the server itself:

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This works for me. Cheers.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.domain.co.uk/ [R=301,L]

Thanks Bogart - works for me too!
