I finally got .htaccess to work. I was matching the path exactly (upper
and lower case), but it seems .htaccess simply wanted all lower case. It
is redirecting perfectly now.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Did you change your server variable in LocalSettings? I think you are
really asking about how to get
www.oldserver.com to point to
www.newserver.com, but you might need to change LocalSettings also. How
much control do you have over your server? Cause you need to make
changes in your DNS entries to get the URL to redirect the way you want
it to.

I've setup the .htaccess file in the servers directory, and I've made
sure to set the AllowOverrides in Apache to "All"....but it doesn't seem
to make any difference. Nothing bothers to redirect...
Here is an example of what I have in the .htaccess file:
Redirect /oldwikidirectory
http://newserver/newwikidirectory
Am I missing something? Something else I need to set in Apache?
Thanks,
Dave

I think if you do an .htaccess 301 redirect from one
domain to the
other, that'll take care of it for you, won't it?
.htaccess should work. Or, you can probably do something with the DNS
records, which would improve performance.
