Problem with rewrite url module in windows

Question

Dear all

i have used rewrite url module but not able to redirect to the target page and I am getting error as The requested URL /old.html was not found on this server.

here is my code. Please see to that and suggest to me

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^old.html$ new.html [R]

Answer 1

Is AllowOverride set to All in your httpd.conf? Like this:

   AllowOverride All

Also, your .htaccess should inlcude the L modifier for the last rule, and if you really want to redirect permanently, R=301:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^old.html$ /new.html [R=301,L]

Answer 2

Try also setting the RewriteBase to / like so

RewriteBase /

Answer 3

i am also Try this code for

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^old.html$ /new.html [R=301,L]

error as The requested URL /old.html was not found on this server.
