Redirect URL to new URL

Question

How do I redirect all traffic from test/(.*) to http://newdomain.com/test/$1? I tried this, but that didn't work: RewriteRule ^test/(.*) http://domain.com/test/$1 [R=301,L]

Answer 1

I think, you need to add a slash to the beginning of the rule:

RewriteRule ^/test/(.*) http://domain.com/test/$1 [R=301,L]

Answer 2

Add the line RewriteEngine On before your rewrite rule.
