    ...yeah as it says.:(

    I had a document management component create a bunch of links for content I was using that was located inside the admin folder (I was silly yes).
    putting 
    <?php
header("Location: http://mydomain.com");
exit;
?>
    inside the header of error.php only works when LoL > I am logged in!

    Which is far from what I need as I can't stay up all night long letting people in.

    Does anyone have a work around suggestion for me please? I am such a ruddy n00b I know. sorry.:p

    As these old links are turning up in Google or wherever they will call protected content thus the login command is triggered...how am I going to get around this?

    Please HELP ME!

    If it's on Linux create a mod_rewrite rule in a .htaccess to redirect them all

    Mod_rewrite is not Operating System based. It's a module for apache, which runs on Linux, Windows and Mac.

    But yes, use mod_rewrite in your .htaccess to do a proper redirect. There are loads of tutorials on the net about it. Click me
