redirecting with .htaccess? Hello, im new here and i have no skill in programming at all, im simply doing this to get my website working correctally. The Full story: My website is www.seriesoftubes.co.uk/david but because if the way it is configured and they way my domain (davidoboyle.co.uk) is set up and the way that the we host is set up i cant link my domain to my webspace. so instead they have linked it to the main page. which is seriesoftubes.co.uk (which is a friends website/main page) My friend has given me a folder in his webspace to use as a blog and seen as i cant direct my domain to my folder/blog (because of an issue i cant fix) i am looking for a script/code to redirect people who imput davidoboyle.co.uk into my blog/folder. i know that this can be done using htaccess but i am useless at coding an unfortunatly i cannot fix it. My friend (the owner of the website) thought of this code: although it failed to work and gave the user an internal server error (500) So im looking for a peice of code to make this work. any ideas? just to recap: im looking for a peice of code to redirect people who enter davidoboyle.co.uk into their brower to seriesoftubes.co.uk/david Thanks for any help offered
Why not just create an index.html page at davidoboyle.co.uk like so: Code: <html> <head> <title>Redirecting...</title> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://seriesoftubes.co.uk/david"> </head> <body> <a href="http://seriesoftubes.co.uk/david">If you are not redirected click here.</a< </html> Should work fine for you. Thanks.
thing is that davidoboyle.co.uk is only a domain, there is no hosting on it, so all the hosting is on seriesoftubes.co.uk so unfortunatly i cant do as youve described, thanks for the help though. Any other ideas?
Try something like this: Code: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.[^.]+\.davidoboyle\.co\.uk$ RewriteRule ^(/~.+) http://www.seriesoftubes.co.uk/david/$1 [R,L]
thanks for all the help. i tried your code with our server and nothing happened. it doesnt redirect me and it doent destroy the server with a 500 error. i then added the line to the top like the other code has and it gave us a 500 error again. whats is this code used for? is it incompatable with our server or isnt it written properly?
Please remove the order line from .htaccess. Then direct your browser to www.davidoboyle.co.uk (not davidoboyle.co.uk). What happens?
when i remove the "order deny,allow" line and enter www.davidoboyle.co.uk into my browser it just goes to the main page (the same location that seriesoftubes.co.uk points to)
Try this in your .htaccess file Code: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.davidoboyle\.co\.uk RewriteRule (.*) http://seriesoftubes\.co\.uk/david/index.html$1 [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} davidoboyle\.co\.uk RewriteRule (.*) http://seriesoftubes\.co\.uk/david/index.html$1 [R=301,L]
Thanks so much edge! seems thats sorted it. well it actually redirects me to /index.html when mines /index.php but ive made a quick instant redirect page to link between the two. so the problem is solved thanks this topic can be closed or whatever
hello again =) the script still works (thanks again) but now im in abit of a problem. if i want to make a redirect to a subfolder its screws up and therefore doesnt work. for example if i wanted www.davidoboyle.co.uk/domain1 and i type in "www.davidoboyle.co.uk/domain1" into my browser i get the error message and the URL has changed in the address bar to Anyway of getting round this? like adding another Htaccess command or somthing so i could have a subdomain in "davidoboyle.co.uk"? thanks again for the help
i think , if you just want to redirect to other page, can use Code: Redirect / http://yourdirectingpage.com CMIIW
i dont quite follow you. i wanna be able to redirect page C to D without interfering with the code to redirect pages A to B. and if i add another redirect into my .htaccess file it seems to screw the whole thing up. thanks for any help
