If necessary to re-direct a page and configuring the server is not possible, label the action and allow the user to invoke the link to the new page.

Informing the user is the best policy

At times it is not possible to get a redirect at the server level, and even if you can, it is still best to include an informative message so the "if technology fails" the user has some direction.

The page you are looking for has changed it's address. Click here to be directed to the main page.
