.htaccess woes

I’ve been having the toughest time minimizing the number of errors on my website lately. Since I got rid of the Wiki, renamed my family blog’s directory and my gallery installation’s directory name, rerouting the incoming traffic has increased the # of errors in my weblogs.

I’ve played with a number of .htaccess rules and even though I’ve found the Redirect 410 directive, I haven’t been able to create multiple 410 directives in a single .htaccess. I’ve since resorted to

• using a Redirect 410 to reroute the traffic for my new Gallery2 installation (from /gallery2* to http://arseneault.ca/web/wp-gallery2.php)
• using a Redirect Permanent for my family’s blog (from /web2 to http://arseneault.ca/web)
• … and haven’t been able to reroute traffic from the old /wiki/ directory to a specific blog posting announcing its end (from /wiki* to /blog/2005/12/14/wiki-is-down-permanently/)

I’ve searched high and low for some answers and even read Apache’s documentation, which is deceivingly short and lacks examples. If anyone can help me achieve those 3 things, I’d be much grateful.
