Redirection Problems with Site Re-organization

I'll try to make this as easy as I can. Up until recently, I had a Web site which used the address "http://www.shamar.org/emet/". Below that were a few directories. I recently obtained a domain name and set it up as an addon domain which pointed to that directory. I also set up a redirection in the .htaccess file for "shamar.org". I had thought that I could just put the following in the file and that would be enough:

Code:

redirect 301 /emet http://www.emetnews.org

Well, for some reason, it wasn't, I had to add additional redirects (see below). Now, I am getting errors that leave out the directory I redirected to. For instance, I had a file with the path:

Code:

http://www.shamar.org/emet/analysis/greatlie.php

Now, for some reason, I am getting errors that point to non-existent files at (and all the other sub-directories):

Code:

http://www.shamar.org/analysis/greatlie.php

The code above should be redirecting it. Below is my .htaccess file. Any ideas of what is happening?

Code:

redirect 301 /emet http://www.emetnews.org
redirect 301 /emet/analysis/ http://www.emetnews.org/analysis/
redirect 301 /emet/documents/ http://www.emetnews.org/documents/
redirect 301 /emet/views/ http://www.emetnews.org/views/

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^current\.php$ http://www.emetnews.org/current.php
RewriteRule ^current\.htm$ http://www.emetnews.org/current.php

RewriteBase  /
RewriteRule   ^(.*)\.htm$              $1      [C,E=WasHTML:yes]
RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ $1.php                   [S=1,R]
RewriteCond   %{ENV:WasHTML}            ^yes$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ $1.htm

AddType text/html .html .htm

IndexIgnore *

RewriteRule ^weblog/?(.*)$ /cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/$1

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

Yes this is a good question!

change

Code:

redirect 301 /emet http://www.emetnews.org
redirect 301 /emet/analysis/ http://www.emetnews.org/analysis/
redirect 301 /emet/documents/ http://www.emetnews.org/documents/
redirect 301 /emet/views/ http://www.emetnews.org/views/ 

to

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 /emet/(.*) http://www.emetnews.org/$1

or if that doesn't quite work try this

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 /emet(.*) http://www.emetnews.org$1

and be sure to let us know if that fixes it..

Sorry I didn't get back to you. It was just a matter of changing the "RewriteBase /" to the correct directory, since it was in a sub-directory. Thanks!

I do have one other question. In using the portion:

Code:

RewriteBase  /
RewriteRule   ^(.*)\.htm$              $1      [C,E=WasHTML:yes]
RewriteCond   %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ $1.php                   [S=1,R]
RewriteCond   %{ENV:WasHTML}            ^yes$
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ $1.htm 

how would I also add for files with an ".html" extention? Do I need to just rewrite it again or can I add to what is already there?

(BTW, I am Lee with Jupitermedia that contacted you the other day - small world!)

Hey Lee! Try this!

Code:

RewriteBase  /
RewriteRule  ^(.*)\.(htm|html)$ $1 [C,E=WasHTML:$2]

RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ $1.php  [S=1,R]

RewriteCond  %{ENV:WasHTML}  ^htm$
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$  $1.htm

RewriteCond  %{ENV:WasHTML}  ^html$
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$  $1.html
