title: trying to redirect a link in joomla or .htaccess
body: <p>we moved our joomla site and rebuilt. in the process a link got moved that we need to be as it was before.
  before:
  www.mysite.org/kindergym</p>
  
  <p>now it lives here:
  www.mysite.org/education/kindergym</p>
  
  <p>it would seem that it would be easy to go into com_redirect and do this. however, it only works for the following
  mysite.org/kindergym without the www
  with the www attached writing the old url returns a 404 error page, not a redirect.</p>
  
  <p>i tried to make a separate redirect with the www too and it wouldnt let me. i tried a separate module with no success and have played around with the .htaccess file (although i am not very knowledgeable about htaccess).</p>
  
  <p>could someone explain the reason why this would be an issue? the difference between the two. i tried calling my host and they were less than helpful and actually told me what i wanted to do couldnt be done LOL.</p>
  
  <p>thanks.</p>
