Hello group,
I just graduated from NCSU and want to redirect my NCSU homepage to my new webpage. While doing that I want to preserve the search engines rankings of my webpage. Currently I have very good rankings on all search engines and don't want to loose it.

After some Googling I figured that permanent '301' redirect using .htaccess file is the best way to accomplish this. However, adding a .htaccess file with this following line in my "www" seems to have no effect at all.
"redirect 301 /index/html www.mynewpage.com/index.html "
File permissions on my .htaccess file is 644.

I would appreciate any tips and suggestions to do this for NCSU webpage.

Thanks,
Jitu
