htaccess question

Hi all,

I have an ht access file on the root of my domain that permanently redirects traffic from /pagename ht*tp://www.domainname.com/subdirectory/page name and that seems to be working just fine.

Before I added that htaccess, I had another which prevented bookmarking or cutting and pasting my hidden URL, it went like so:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-]+\.)*mydomain.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://([a-z0-9-]+\.)*myavs\.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule /* http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R,L]

When I added the htaccess at the top, the hotlinking one stopped working, when I removed the hotlinking, the permanent redirect started working.

Initially I had the no hotlinking htaccess file in my hidden folders, which I told was wrong. So, I pasted it into the top of the permanent redirect htaccess file, but that didn't work either.

I really need both to work and I know squat about htaccess. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You probably have conflicting arguements in your htaccess file, it would likely be best to set up a separate htaccess file in the directory that you want redirected and use redirect code, like:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.redirecteddomain.com
