This question is the same one that was asked on Feb 24.
I applied the answer using my site product page which is:
Redirect 301 / http://www.papasworkshop.net/home/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.html
The error message I receive is WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE
The URL line contains:
http://www.papasworkshop.net/home/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.htmlhome/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.html
(and all of this text- except for the web address - repeats many many times on the URL line.

Try using RedirectMatch
instead because Redirect
links two different path nodes together. Meaning, /
gets symbolically linked to http://www.papasworkshop.net/home/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.html
. Thus anything after the /
also appears at the end of http://www.papasworkshop.net/home/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.html
.
Incidentally, that means you're browser will continue to loop and constantly get redirected by the server. So try:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ http://www.papasworkshop.net/home/8-the-lifter-scrollsaw-arm-lift-assembly.html

You need to create a .htaccess file in the /home subdirectory with the following line:
RewriteEngine On
