Sorry to bother you guys with this, but I'm stumped. After reading the manual on the RewriteRule command and searching this site, my attempts to perform a simple URL redirect simply aren't working.

What I want to do is have the URL:

http://www.mysite.com/farmgirls

automatically redirect to:

http://www.mysite.com/maryjanesfarm/farmgirls.html

This is what my httpd.ini file looks like:

================

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

RewriteRule ^/farmgirls$ /maryjanesfarm/farmgirls.html

================

(without the equals signs, obviously ). And I've placed it in my wwwroot directory. Unfortunately, this won't work. I've also tried the following without success:

#RewriteRule ^/farmgirls$ http\://www.mysite.com/index.html [I]
#RewriteRule /farmgirls http\://www.mysite.com/maryjanesfarm/farmgirls.html [I,RP]

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Chuck

Well, just got an e-mail from my ISP. Turns out it was the file read permissions that was the culprit, not my code. Gotta love dealing with those server problems that I have no control over.  

Thanks,

Chuck
