Q: 

How to use spaces in the URL path in mod_alias’ Redirect directive?

Following on from link text, I've also got problems with file paths that contain spaces. I was told to simply enclose the full path in quotes, and that should work, but I keep getting this page marked up in my Webmaster Tools error log as not being found:

redirect 301 /"News/Press Releases/Press_Release_Update_Oct_2006.pdf" /index.html

still gives me a 404.

Thanks Martin

A: 

Have you tried putting the quote before the /?

redirect 301 "/News/Press Releases/Press_Release_Update_Oct_2006.pdf" /index.html

No, I hadn't as I assumed the / at the start was not part of the path - that worked perfectly - thanks. Merry Christmas :)
