no page names and 301 redirect problems
One of our customers has a problem with their catalogue.

Firstly, for some reason a lot of the sections have no name set in the URL section. This means that when the client changes the section title it changes the URL's.

The catalog version is 5.16 but at some point it was upgraded from 4.xx to 5.xx - I don't know if this is significant.

In order to solve the 404 errors I want to setup 301 redirects for the old URL's to the new ones. (I also intend to put names in all the sections to hopefully fix the errors).

I have written the .htaccess file and it is in the correct format

e.g.
redirect 301 /acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Canvas_Ballet_Shoes____Split_Sole__31.html [example.co.uk...]

However, when I upload the .htaccess file I cannot view the catalog - I just get 500 server errors.

Any ideas on the problems?

Actinic upgrades are known to damage data in some cases, especially between major release versions. This seem to be your problem

I can only advise that you get an Actinic specialist to evie wand fix your data files
