I recently had the problem of needing to make it so the old feed url /feeds/rss/ would load up the new url /feed.rss since I switched to using pype. Unless you know exactly what you're looking for you're going to have a tough time finding anything usefull on google.
I started out by searching for "Apache redirect". Sounded good but ended up not so good. It did bring up an Apache doc file on UrlRedirect, but it turns out that that wasn't was I was wanting... at all...
After much bashing around trying this search term and that search term, I finally remembered working with UrlRewrite once. I hopfully typed in "Apache url rewrite" and one of the first results ended up being exactly what I wanted. So I opened up my .htaccess file with my favorite editor (vim) and entered:
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^feeds/rss$ feed.rss RewriteRule ^feeds/rss/$ feed.rss RewriteRule ^feeds/atom$ feed.atom RewriteRule ^feeds/atom/$ feed.atom
And walla! It worked! Actually it took a bit of trial and error to come up with this - notice that I have two rewrite rules for each url (there might be a better way to do this but) I did that so it would work with and without the trailing slash. So now if you subscribed to the old feed and are reading this on your feed reader you know why it was offline for a week or two.
