redirect from a deleted page to a new page

[newbies]

Hi I am going to use SSI for my home page so I have to change index.html to .shtml. However some people may have link to index.html, how can I redirect request for index.html to index.shtml?

thanks for help.

Leave your page names alone and have your server parse html pages as shtml

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
