.htaccess question...how do you do this? - GoFuckYourself.com

jollyperv · 10-18-2006, 04:44 AM

I want to do a simple redirect from one URL to another, but only want it to redirect if the traffic is coming from 1 particular URL.

Possible with .htaccess?

gooddomains · 10-18-2006, 04:55 AM

yes, it is, httpd.apache.org is your place to read

beta-tester · 10-18-2006, 05:00 AM

it is possible. Google for answer...
the idea is: test if the site is the one you want traffic redirected if it comes from that site, redirect traffic (301 redirection is the best method).

Thanks guys, been googling around a bit, but trying to word it for a search is tough.

.htaccess
-----------------------
Redirect permanent /old-dir http://www.domain.com/new-dir/
-----------------------

or

.htaccess
-----------------------
Redirect permanent /old-file.html http://www.domain.com/new-file.html
-----------------------

Nah, that's not what I'm trying to do. I want to redirect traffic from only 1 particular URL that is not mine.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.referrer.indexOf("www.where-traffic-is-coming-from.com") != -1)
{
location.href = "http://www.site-to-send-traffic.com/";
}</script>

it's not htaccess and must be put on each page but it works.

Nice, thanks I'll try that

quantum-x · 10-18-2006, 05:15 AM

oh right, that'd be........

.htaccess
----------------
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^http://(www\.)?target-site\.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.final-site.com/$1 [R=301,L]
------------------

Should do the trick
where 'target site' is the incoming site

It's not a 301 redirect. SE traffic is lost, not to mention bunches of non JS users.

jollyperv · 10-18-2006, 05:18 AM

Thanks again guys, the javascript thing doesn't seem to be working, gonna try the htaccess.

darksoul · 10-18-2006, 05:20 AM

the right way:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www.)?othersite.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.google.com [R,L]

or the perfect way

lame.
at least the 3rd time you got it better than your previous failed attempts.
The 301 redirect is meaningless unless its redirecting bot traffic.

jollyperv · 10-18-2006, 05:29 AM

Gonna try that latest one, now another question:

What if the incoming URL is a subdomain, and how would I need to change the (www.) part?

You guys rule

Quoth apache manual:

Quote:

DESCRIPTION: In some cases the same web site is accessible by different addresses, like domain.com, www.domain.com, www.domain2.com and we want to redirect it to one address.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R,L]

fuck man, sorry to use code you don't understand.
cram it.

darksoul · 10-18-2006, 05:32 AM

you can use (.*) instead of www

lol,
you just made a fool out of your self

read again genius, HTTP_HOST is your domain and it will never
match the reffering domain.

do you dig it ? or do I have to draw it for you ?

Still, you can cram your attitude
