I have been searching for a way to do this but haven’t found anything  
yet.

Can anyone please guide me to a resource or tell me how I would go  
about doing a 301 (Moved Permanently) redirect using Rails?

Thanks  
Frank

Frank,

Give this a try in your controller:

def moved  
headers[‘Location’] = ‘http://the\_new\_location\_of\_your\_page.html’  
render :nothing =\> true, :status =\> 301  
end
