Rewrite for a single page url?

[Hypertexter]

Hello,

I would like to make a 301 redirection via .htaccess file for one single page.

My rewrite rules at the moment are:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on

    # Usually RewriteBase is just '/', but
    # replace it with your subdirectory path
    # RewriteBase /getsimple/
     RewriteBase /

    # Rewrite www
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    # without .html
    RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]
    
    RewriteRule ^folder/oldpagename http://www.domainname.de/folder/newpagename [R=301,L] # how??
    RewriteRule ^oldfolder http://www.domainname.de/newfolder [R=301,L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/tag/?$ /blog [R=301,L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/post/?$ blog [R=301,L]
    
    # News Manager:
    RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([^/.]+)/page/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&tag=$1&page=$2 [L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/tag/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&tag=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/post/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&post=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/page/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&page=$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^blog/archive/([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?id=blog&archive=$1 [L]
    # end News Manager
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
     RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
    

    RewriteRule ^data/uploads/(.*)$ plugins/download_interceptor/intercept.php?file=$1 [L]
    
</IfModule>

But the line with ...oldpagename ...newpagename does not work. What am I doing wrong?

The other redirections are for urls without .html and for urls always with www and other stuff.

Bye

Wow, seems to work with:

Code:

RewriteRule ^blog/post/oldpagename/?$ $1/blog/post/newpagename [R=301,L]

But it was trial and error - with a phase of a frozen Firefox or server, where no redirection worked any more, very funny.

Does anybody know a good introduction into the syntax of .htaccess for beginners? I just found a lot of "do this" without further explanations.
