I'm having problems redirecting a specific page with .htaccess The problem is that I had tried to use url rewriting to name the file Shell.htm. This turned out to be a filename that causes server issues. So I changed the file to a different name, but google still has links indexed pointing to Shell.htm which won't open. I'm hoping to get this somehow fixed so that url properly redirects to the new one. The redirects I've tried don't seem to work. Hopefully someone knows some way to get around this. Thanks.
As mentioned in my original post, a basic redirect would not work in this case. htaccess seems to treat the filename shell.htm differently.
if you still can't fix it, use a meta header to refresh the page to the new URI, seems like a strange issue though..
I was under the impression that meta refreshes were bad for seo. The thing is that the file is in a virtual directory created via htaccess url rewriting. I guess I could still create a html file for this one url. Technically that url is supposed to load a php file.
