I can't believe how much trouble I am having with this.  I am on shared Windows hosting and cannot use .htaccess to do a 301 redirect.  My hosting provider tells me they have ISAPI_Rewrite installed and that I can use that instead.  He says I should create a .irwaccess file instead of .htaccess.

All I want to do is have page.html in my root folder redirected to /subfolder/page.php.  I have followed all the examples I can find, both on this forum and on other sites, and here is what I now have in the .irwaccess file (this the entire contents):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^page\.htm$ http://www.mydomain.com/subfolder/page.php [NC,L]

What am I doing wrong?  I have been trolling this forum for an hour, see lots of similar questions, but am obviously missing something.

Thanks!

Hello,

Your rule looks okay! (You may need to comment RewriteBase, as a fact)
So the thing i'm most concerned about is that how your provider has managed to use .irwaccess.

For your provider the necessary entry to make in httpd.conf is:

Code:
<VirtualHost www.domain_client1.com>
AccessFileName .irwaccess
</VirtualHost>


Regards
Andrew
