• The URL you want to redirect from must not be a working one on your website which actually loads a web page. It can be the URL to a web page which you have disabled in the Joomla Backend administrator interface.

• The Expired URL you specify when you create the redirect should be the full URL as you would type it in your web browser. The component will only display the last portion of the source URL in the redirect listing. The New URL you specify when you create a redirect must be the full URL as well.

In order for your redirects to work, you must

1. enable the Redirect Plugin in Plugins.

1. enable the option 'Use URL Rewriting' in the Global Configuration options of your Joomla installation.

1. rename the htaccess.txt file in the web site directory where you installed Joomla to .htaccess or to whatever file name your Apache web server requires for additional configuration directives. In the Apache configuration file this setting is named 'AccessFileName' and by default this is set to '.htaccess'.
