RodG:
Hmmm. The thot plickens... if this was from the root folder, there is nothing to perfom a redirect to the /new/ folder when the browser is pointed to http://yourdomain/ so, what happens when you point the broweser to http://yourdomain/new/ ?
Cheers
Rod
There is a huge mess of redirects I left out. They were added after the issue and are working correctly. Sorry for the confusion.
Tested without the posted code. No change
Here's all the redirects.
