I'll ask the question another way: If you had a Joomla! install in subfolder "mydomain.com/joomla" and decided to move the install to the domain root "mydomain.com" could JoomSEF be used for .htaccess 301 redirects? If so, how?

Understood.

In the following example, where would I manually place .htaccess 301 redirects for the old folder (A)? In the "Root" or "Folder A"? Does it matter, if so, describe. Thanks.

|-Root
|---Folder A (old site)
|---Folder B (Joomla! & JoomSEF installed here)

When you say "root" do you mean the first root before a redirect, or after it?

|-Root
|---Folder A (where Joomla! was installed)
|---Folder B (where Joomla! now is installed)

How do I tell Joomsef which htaccesss to use for a 301 redirect???

Thanks!

I am experiencing the same problem, but my 301 redirects are in the htaccess file.

My J1.7 install is in subfolder "A" and I am trying to redirect links from subfolder "B" to "A" without luck.

My setup involves a header redirect in the index.php file to subfolder A where all the J1.7 files are, including the htaccess file. It does not seem that the one htaccess can handle redirects either for the root or subfolder B. Where should the htaccess file be and should more than one htaccess file be used?

Thanks!
