So I'm moving my website from one domain to another. In this process I'm using the "change address" function in Google Webmaster Tools on my `old-domain.com`, "switching" it to / choosing my verified `new-domain.com`.

In Step 2 of this process, Google Webmaster Tools **will check whether 301 redirect is setup properly** on `old-domain.com`... And it fails...

Translated to English it says: **"Could not find any 301-redirect directives"**.

I've setup the `301` redirect on my `old-domain.com` in the *.htaccess* - and no other content is in the file than this:

```
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-domain.dom/$1 [R=301,L]

```

Am I missing something?

*Note that the redirecting works perfectly*
