[Techtalk] Moving Websites: 301 Redirect

[Sue Stones]

A simple rewrite that works is

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.redcockatooaustralia.com/ [L,R=301]

But when I try to duplicate this approach with something like the 
following not much happens

RewriteRule ^(.*)/artists\.php\#artsec$ 
http://www.redcockatooaustralia.com/artists/elly-chatfield/$ [L,R=301]


I tried writing some with "RewriteCond" clauses, but I am not certain of 
the flow of control without them, so it seemed better to leave that out, 
until I had something working that I wanted to put conditions on!  
Similarly I have no idea what %{HTTP_HOST} means and consequently when I 
need it, leaving it out made no difference so far. 

Of course I have tried many variations on the lines above, but I am not 
much wiser!
