View source for Redirects: Links/en

<noinclude><languages /></noinclude> 
==Description== 
This component is used for redirecting URLs for web pages that no longer exist on your website to web pages that are working. 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. 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. You must have the ''Use URL Rewriting'' option enabled in your Joomla! installation ''Global Configuration'' options in order for the redirects you create to function.

==Quick Tips== 
* In order for your redirects to work, you must enable the option '''Use URL Rewriting''' in the '''Global Configuration''' options of your Joomla! installation. Note also that just enabling the 'Use URL Rewriting' option is not enough. You must take the additional step of renaming 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'.
