301 Redirect issues

I am redirecting to a new site temporarily and I have followed some instructions I found in the documentation.
I created a new app.
I pointed my current domain to the App.
I created an .htaccess file
I uploaded the doc to the apps file and deleted the index file that was created with the app

here is htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tahoemtproperties.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.laketahoe-concierge.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I get a page that says:
Index of /
[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description

Any suggestions?

Hi Kenny. When I go to tahoemtproperties.com it redirects to laketahoe-concierge.com. I suspect maybe your DNS cache had not updated when you made the changes. Could you please try again and let us know if it's still not working? -Wayne K. (WebFaction Customer Support)

OK I see what the problem is. You are probably going to www.tahoemtproperties.com correct? But your condition only works for requests starting with tahoemtproperties.com (note no www sub-domain). So you can just add an [OR] condition which is the same but with the sub-domain.

Thanks, That was it. I now have ^tahoemtproperties.com [OR] ^www.tahoemtproperties.com

Great! I'm glad it's working now. I'm just going to move my comment to an answer for future reference if people search this.
