301 redirect breaks site

Hi Guys I've moved my site from a sub directory to root to replace the static html pages I had there. I want to place a load of 301 redirects in .htaccess but when I do I get a 500 internal error and the site is not visible. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem as I want to inform search engines of the redirects but cant because of this issue.

Cheers Kili

Can you post your htaccess changes?

Hi Kili, great that you solved your problem...amazing how such a small thing can "make or break" a website so to speak.
