301 redirects

[ercatli]

I am transferring my site to a new domain and i want to do a 301 redirect in my .htaccess file. I currently have a working .htaccess file (I know this because it does error trapping for me) so I know my web host has mod_rewrite going.

So the structure I understand I need for each page is as follows:

Redirect 301 /old/old.html http://www.newdomain.com/new/somefile.html

Unfortunately it isn't working. Can anyone advise on any tricks about 301 redirects please?

I just found out my web host won't enable redirects for security reasons. Question answered! :(
