Hello,

I am not very technically savvy and have no experience with editing .htaccess files. We utilize Joomla 3 for our website and I downloaded the ReDJ extension to avoid having to mess with the .htaccess file. I have a number of pages returning 404 errors that I would like to permanently redirect (301) to our homepage. Using ReDJ, I was able to successfully redirect pages ending with ^.index.html and ^.default/html. I tried following similar rule logic for the URLs listed below but am not having any luck.

www.naturopay.com/index.shtml returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/index.asp returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/default.asp returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/default.aspx returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/index.aspx returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/index.cfm returns a 404 not-found response
www.naturopay.com/index.pl returns a 404 not-found response

Has anyone else been able to create redirect rules for URLs like these without editing the .htaccess file? I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Thank you for the quick reply. I found my .htaccess file but am wondering if there is specific section the code should go in. It looks like I have a "Custom Redirects" section and a "Joomla! core SEF Section." If my htaccess file is a text file, does that mean I'm not currently using the file? I'm seeing a lot online about converting the .htaccess.txt to a .htaccess file and didn't know if that was something I needed to do.

Thank you for the additional insight.

Thank you for the help. I renamed my htaccess.txt file to .htaccess and added ErrorDocument 404 / at the end but I am still getting the 404 error for the urls mentioned in the subject line. Is there anything else I should try?

Thank you again.
