Hey guys

Im stuck with a problem...i'll explain the issue.

I published my website and the path was something like www.example.com/example.php and it was indexed by google. I have now redone my directories so the path is now www.example.com/uk/example.php

So when a visitor goes to example.com it should go to example.com/uk/
As google has already indexed the old path, im assuming I need a 301 redirect to phase out the old path and introduce the new path...correct me if im wrong?

Ive tried the following basic 301 redirect...but it returns a 'indefinate loop'.

Code:

 Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/uk/

Please someone let me know what im doing wrong...ive spent hours searching and found nothing!

Thanks!
