301 Redirect's - Issues [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm having issues with a set of old links, I have about 50 of them which I've redirected to the new CMS pages in the following format (.htaccess), example:
Code: Select all
redirect 301 /resort/specialsmain.htm http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/
However, when I try /resort/specialsmain.htm , it goes to:
http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offer ... lsmain.htm . Obviously, the first half is right, but then the rest, i.e. "?page=resort/specialsmain.htm" is random.
Any ideas, quite sure the solution is probably simple
Thank you!

Thanks Rolf, I had tried that and it still hadn't worked. Case in point, example:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^2007timeless.htm$ http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/ [R=301,L]
Doesn't work here:
http://www.pointgrace.com/resort/specia ... meless.htm
Full Htaccess
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
#
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms/
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^2007timeless.htm$ http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/ [R=301,L]
# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://208.86.158.213/index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pointgrace.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.pointgrace.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.pointgrace\.com" [R=301,L]
Any further help is much appreciated... Cheers

Okidok, I figured it out for those will encounter the issue
This is the correct format:
Code: Select all
RewriteRule ^oldfolder/file.html$ http://www.domain.com/newfolder [R=301,L]
No starting slash on the old path and no trailing slash on the new path
Good luck
