301 Redirect Help please.

[SEO_Gal]

I am trying to redirect one domain to another domain. When I go into the C Panel Redirects, I get the following error:

Apache detected an error in the Rewrite config.

Syntax error on line 13 of /home/creatjo7/public_html/.htaccess.jngc0KMOHEoOah0I4gyND6pf2IaadrMi:
RewriteBase: only valid in per-directory config files

Please try again.

How do I fix this?

Thanks.

Why dont you 301 redirect using htaccess or php?

using htaccess

Create a .htaccess file and place in the root directory of your old website contining the following:


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

using PHP
Create an index.php in the root of your old domain and put the following in it:


<?php
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.newdomain.com" );
?>
