I'm new to SEO but as far as I can tell, the only way to do a true 301 redirect is in the .htaccess file. The reason I ask, is that I'm working on a site for which I don't have access to the .htaccess file, and I want to make sure that the redirect that I'm getting by using ReDJ is a true 301. Could you please comment on this?

Many Thanks,

Philip

I can confirm that ReDJ allows you to do a REAL 301 redirect:



But ReDJ alone is able to redirect only calls that come on Joomla. If you want to manage ALL calls, this can be easily accomplished adding an ErrorDocument directive into .htaccess file. Something like this:

ErrorDocument 404 /

So, if you can't access this file, maybe you will not able to do some redirects.

Thanks for the quick reply, Luigi. What kind of calls would not come from Joomla that I might need to redirect?

All that kind of calls for witch response is sent back directly by web server (e.g. Apache).

Just as example, if your home is:



If someone calls:



The error response comes directly from web server, and in this case ReDJ can't do nothing.

I hope this is clear now.
