I'm using htaccess to redirect pages from an old site to a new site in the following fashion: redirect 301 /states/ http://www.example.com/states/
I'm redirecting the home page of site #1 to an interior page in site #2:
redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/somepage/
There's no extension on the home page URL on either site because both use URL rewriting.
What I'm trying to do is preserve access to a script that lives in the /actions/ subdirectory of the old site - call it "/actions/somescript.php". For some reason I can't use 301 redirects on that directory (e.g. "redirect 301 /actions/ http://www.example.com/actions/"), even though redirects work fine for the "phantom" directories (like /states/) that are created through the URL rewriting.
Any suggestions?/
Thanks.
