i changed the alias on one of my pages from "voter_id_requirements" to "voter_identification." i tried setting up a 301 redirect in my htacess file like this:

  #custom redirects

RewriteRule ^voter_id_requirements$ http://www.longdistancevoter.org/voter_identification[R=301,L]

#end custom redirects

now when i go to the voter_id_requirements page, i get a "page not found" message instead of a redirect. any ideas?

thanks.

I'm having the same problem with my redirects.

I had a similar issue. I wanted to redirect /calendar to an external page. The key for me was placing the RewriteRule line close to the top of the rewrite section. In my case I placed it beneath #RewriteBase /. Also, add a space between your URL and the opening bracket at the end.
