Permanent Redirect Issues

[hislordship]

Hello

This is a new problem I'm having, never was an issue on Zencart so I am puzzled.

I want to redirect a specific URL for newsletter signups as follows:
tjn.co.za/newsletter => eepurl.com/cHBk

Done the redirect as a permanent redirect in CPanel but it doesn't work. I always end up at my Abantecart site with the error page.

Any suggestions?

Redirects in cPanel absolutely not related to AbanteCart.
Ask your hosting support to help you

Thank you for the reply.

My hosting company has replied as follows:

The difference from trophyjunction.co.za would be abantecart .htaccess rules present in tjn.co.za.
This seems to be disrupting the re-writes rules for newsletter redirect to mailchimp url.
You might have to consult a developer or abantecart support to resolve the apparent redirect conflict.

.htaccess file is as follows:

# 1. To use URL Aliases you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your abantecart main directory rename file htaccess.txt to .htaccess

# 3. Edit file .htaccess. If abantecart is installed in yourdomain/ subfolder change configuration line  RewriteBase /  to  RewriteBase /subfolder/.
# Example:  yourdomain.com/store   use RewriteBase /store/
# Important to have / at the end of the line.

# 4. if htaccess and mode_rewrite still does not works - check and set apache2 webserver directive AllowOverride All for your virtual hosts

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html

301 is permanent redirect and if you don't want that then remove 301.

general syntax is
Redirect /oldpage /newpage
