Strange & very Frustrating Problem with a Re-direct

[Andy_G]

I have registered a new domain and I would like to have Google completely ignore my old address while indexing the new address.
The new site content has been moved to a subdirectory of the root and my new domain pointde to this via my host.

Is there some code I can add to redirect users to the new site and to ensure Google completely ignores my old Index Page?

I currently have a Meta redirect instead of the .htaccess.

Cheers

Is there anything else I can try?
I temporarily have the command below in the header of my index instead of the .htaccess which will not work

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.internettreehouse.co.uk/index.htm">

If you can run PHP : (Save the code as index.php and upload to http://www.dannybaker.force9.co.uk/)

<?php

$url="http://www.internettreehouse.co.uk/";
header ("Location: $url");

?>

you could also do it using the .htaccess file by

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

or

If you want to redirect a whole directory
Redirect /olddirectory http://yoursite.com/newdirectory

I'm afraid I can't run PHP on the Server

This is really doing my head in.
Normally a 301 redirect would redirect to a different server. In this case the redirect is on the old domain which is that of hosting company Force9. It redirects to the new domain which is a different directory on the same server. I imagine this is quite rare for a 301 redirect.
