301 permanent redirection of directories

External Since: Oct 31, 2007 Posts: 11

I am going to do 301 permanent redirection for quite a few pages (66).
I wonder whether you can redirect a whole directory or do the pages
have
to be individually redirected?

And since we are at it.
How do you create customized 404 pages?
I did a few through cPanel, saved as 404.shtml and did appear for a
while, but now for some reason unknown to me, they are overridden by
system default 404 pages.

Thanks

If the OP wants to redirect entire directories, Redirect and
RedirectMatch should prove useful.
