301 Redirect Question

Hi,

I recently bought a new domain name and copied my WordPress files from the root directory to a sub-directory. The original site is still live on the root of my hosting account, but now that the new site is set up in a sub-directory with the new domain name, I’m looking to use 301’s to redirect traffic from the old domain to the new one at page-level.

It was my understanding that I could just use Redirect 301 /the-old-page-name mynewdomain/the-new-page-name in .htaccess. However, I get a message in my browser that says “The web page at mydomainname/page-name/ has resulted in too many redirects.

What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
