Pointing An Existing Feed Url At Q New Feedburner Url

[ramone_kalsaw]

I need to modify an .htaccess file to redirect my existing RSS feeds to the new feeds I've set up in Feedburner.

 

Feedburner's instructions to Apache users is to "Create an .htaccess file with this single line in it in the directory that contains your old feed. If your published directory is /var/www/host/blogs/hbh, you would enter this line:

 

 

>Code: 
Redirect temp /hbh/index.xml http://feeds.feedburner.com/hairbandhist

 

 

I'm not clear as to whether I need to create a new .htaccess file with the content they're requiring or include the code in an existing .htaccess file.

 

Then ... the instructions say to "delete the old feed file (/var/www/host/blogs/hbh/index.xml) to avoid any confusion." I can't find that path in my File Manager directories.

 

Can you offer any guidance here?

 

Thanks!

The old feeds are likely to be in /hbh/index.xml (although that depends on your setup of course)

The old feeds are likely to be in /hbh/index.xml (although that depends on your setup of course)

 

 

"/hbh/index.xml" is the sample path given in Feedburner's instructions, I think that's the path to the feed using Moveable Type. Does anyone know where in the cPanel File Manager Expression Engine places this feed file for the redirect? I can't seem to locate it.

 

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, it depends completely on your setup.

 

For example, if you have set up the Expression Engine to be in the folder "ramone" then it would be in that folder (ie /ramone/index.xml).
