We have moved a client off an old RAQ3 server onto one of our new
CentOS/BQ 4.2 specials and have a problem.

They use 301 redirects in a .htaccess in the root of their web site e.g.

Redirect 301 /pages/html/e_of_e.html
http://www.easterncathedrals.org.uk/index.html
Redirect 301 /pages/html/chelmsford.html
http://www.easterncathedrals.org.uk/chelmsford.html

This doesn't work on the new box - lots of these in the error_log:

[Tue Jun 27 16:47:08 2006] [alert] [client 72.30.110.16]
/home/.sites/38/site94/web/.htaccess: Redirect not allowed here
[Tue Jun 27 16:47:08 2006] [alert] [client 72.30.110.16]
/home/.sites/38/site94/web/.htaccess: Redirect not allowed here
[Tue Jun 27 16:47:35 2006] [alert] [client 84.45.131.144]
/home/.sites/38/site94/web/.htaccess: Redirect not allowed here

Can anybody shed any light?

Thanks

Colin
