.htaccess redirects

[dj4uk]

I've added the following into my .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldurl.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newurl.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Where I want to redirect all pages from the old domain to the new domain e.g. www.oldurl.com/example.htm should redirect to www.newurl.com/example.htm

However nothing happens! Is there any syntax wrong?

Is it possible for me to find out if the rewrite engine is turned on - host says it is!

Cheers

DJ

www.oldurl.com is not the same as oldurl.com.

The easiest way is to negate the expression:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^([a-z\.]+\.)?newurl.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newurl.com/$1 [L,R=301]

That should match any domains that are not newurl.com or a subdomain of it (or sub-subdomain, etc.).
