Hi all, Andrew here came up with the solution: You need to write the header tag like this :
<cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved Permanently#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#Location:#newurl#"> All in one line. Now the redirect works.. and the URL changes. Yippee! ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rony Fayyad Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2007 11:10 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL You could also try running that snippet of code on a different Coldfusion instance and see if the issue still ocurrs - may be try it on your local host or another dev box. See if its a CF thing.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Ryan Sabir <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'cfaussie@googlegroups.com' Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 10:48 AM Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL CFLOCATION is a 302 redirect. It tells the search engine that the resource requested has been moved temporarily. A 301 redirect tells a search engine that the resource has been moved permanently, so no longer look for it at the original URL. At least that's how I understand how it works. ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blair McKenzie Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2007 10:42 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL Is there any reason not to use cflocation?

Its for a site that has changed its URL structure. ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Scott Sent: Tuesday, 18 December 2007 10:06 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL Try 302 instead.

If I bookmark it, its actually bookmarking the old URL. How can I do an SEO friendly redirect, and change the URL as well? thanks.
