The same problem...
I can't make a 301 Redirect, or I'm doing something wrong. Version

What specifically needs to be written so that from the page
2031.technol.com/namecatalog/nametowar
it gets to
2031.technol.com/nametowar
The fact is that the same product is obtained under different links, and this is a duplicate content. This, as I understand it, is critical for website promotion ..
