   Ugh… I hate redirect rules… such a pain! I think this should do it:

   RewriteBase /
   
   RewriteRule ^eclecticism/tags/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/mt/mt-tags.cig?blog_id=1&tags=$1

   Note, that should be 2 separate lines with a split after the first /

   Soo, any luck with those rules by Ryan?

   Not yet, nope. I’ve tried putting those lines in the existing .htaccess at the root of my webspace, and in a new .htaccess under /eclecticism/, but still just get 404s when I try to go to /eclecticism/tags/anything. I’ll keep poking at it…

   I would try doing a redirect rather than a rewrite to see exactly what it’s trying to rewrite to. ie:

   RewriteRule ^eclecticism/tags/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/mt/mt-tags.cig?blog_id=1&tags=$1 [R,L]

   Good luck. I’ll break out the ‘mad rewrite-fu’ (as the kids call it these days) if you need—I’ve just eyeballed the rule and it looks ok but haven’t tested it.

   you should do it like this

   Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

   in your htaccess file

   you should do it like this

   Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

   you can also make it a 301 or 302 redirect
