Issue with simple 301 redirect

Question

In my .htaccess file I have the following redirect:

Redirect 301 /concrete5-themes/street/ http://www.c5themes.co.uk/street-theme-for-concrete5/

However, this sends you to http://www.c5themes.co.ukstreet which is obviously wrong.

What's wrong?

Thanks Dave

Give this a try at the top of your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?c5themes\.co\.uk$
RewriteRule ^concrete5-themes/street(.*) http://www.c5themes.co.uk/street-theme-for-concrete5/ [R=301,L]

Example inputs:

http://www.example.co.uk/concrete5-themes/street/1/1
http://www.example.co.uk/concrete5-themes/street

Redirect:

http://www.c5themes.co.uk/street-theme-for-concrete5/
