    Hi,

    Been trying to make redirect 301 from 1 domainname on my old webserver to a different dommainname on my new site. I'm also using subdomains, the subdomain names are the same.
    fe: sub1.domain1.com to sub1.domain2.com

    I tried countles redirect rules and combinations in the .htaccess on the old webserver but they don't seem to work. Mostly I'm getting: 500 ERROR: This is not the page you requested.
    This is a non-erronous page (500EP) used to display erronous pages (500!EP).

    Any suggestions?

    B.

    Tnx for the help shabbir.

    After more research it seemed .htaccess wasn't allowed in the directives of the host. So I had to do it in php :p So I didn't get to check out your redirect
