RedirectMatch not working for files

Hi

 

I am trying to redirect all webpages within a directory on my site to another website. I can only get this to work for directories only, not actual files. The following scenarios work:

 

http://www.mysite.com/folder1/folder3 redirects to http://www.newsite.com/redirectpage.jsp

 

http://www.mysite.com/folder1/folder3/folder4 redirects to http://www.newsite.com/redirectpage.jsp

 

However, the RedirectMatch does not work for files, such as

 

http://www.mysite.com/folder1/folder3/webpage.html does not redirect to http://www.newsite.com/redirectpage.jsp

 

http://www.mysite.com/folder1/folder3/folder4/image.gif does not redirect to http://www.newsite.com/redirectpage.jsp

 

I am running apache and I have tried to solve the problem using RedirectMatch. I have the following line in my conf file:

 

RedirectMatch permanent ^/folder1/folder2/.* http://www.newsite.com/redirectpage.jsp

 

Thanks for your help
