Joomla redirects question

[hurricanedan]

I am working on a new joomla site and need to be able to use something to do redirects. I have looked at 404SEF and redirect but neither are quite what I need. 404SEF is too much and redirect only works in the root directory (too little).

So I am thinking of going the .htaccess route. I have attempted to add one redirect to the .htaccess that I have in the directory /srv/www/htdocs/joomla but the redirect does not work.

Can anyone provide some help and at least point me in the direction of where to put the .htaccess file?

Thanks,

Dan

Need to make many copies of on joomla site. Curious what you found.

Unfortunately I have found nothing that works.

This is a rather large issue from what I have seen and it would be great if you could do something like create a file: redirect.txt and then point to it somehow and inside of it there would be a list of what you would want to have redirected, like this:

new link | old link
example.com/teachers | example.com/content/section/6/30/
example.com/students | example.com/content/section/18/92/

That would not be ideal but atleast it would give an option.

That's what the .htaccess file is for.
Search "301 redirect" (with quotes).
