Where in the .htaccess file (top, bottom, or center) does the piece of code go to 301 redirect a URL? For example, a non-www to a www URL?:confused:
#file #htaccess

    It doesn't matter where you put it, as long as it's not inside a block that prevents it from doing what you want. The easiest way to ensure that is to stick it right at the top or bottom of the file.

    You can put it anywhere you like, it wouldn't affect 301 redirect.

    First thing first .HTACCES is not a file it is an extension like .exe, .doc, .xls, .ppt and etc...


    now for redirection

    HTML Code:
    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name. 


or

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html
