url rewrite issue

i want to redirect my test/old.html page to test/new.html .... using mode_rewrite.
any help plz.

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^old\.html$ new.html

Code (markup):

Put this in a htaccess and in test folder.

 

sorry please.....
its not working giving "HTTP 404 - File not found"

 

what about

RedirectMatch permanent ^/old.html$ new.html

Code (markup):

i get the feeling that its wrongly written but might work

 

Sorry I'm not an mod-rewrite expert. But that is the simplest code I'm using on my sites.

Don't know why its not working on your server.

btw, do you put the htaccess in test folder ?

also just to clarify you must remember the "." (DOT) before the htaccess part so should look like
.htaccess

 

yeah i know tht name is (.htaccess) and its in test folder..
