htaccess 301 redirection...help - GoFuckYourself.com

klinton · 10-03-2008, 05:43 AM

Hey , I want to redirect all traffic that goes to some directory to another url...
htaccess looks like this:
redirect / http://www.blabla.com/main.php?id=affiliate

and It redirects to url, but adds old directory name at the end of url...so it finally looks like http://www.blabla.com/main.php?id=af...ddirectoryname

how to avoid adding this old directory name to final url ?

Thanks !

Code:

redirect 301 /OLDDIRECTORY/ http://www.MYSITE.com/NEW_DIR/SOMETHING.HTML

just tested the code on one of my servers, works 100%

where do you place your htaccess?

if your site is

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/OLDIRECTORY/

then your htaccess should be in the root directory

if still doesn't work coctact your host, dunno

Well Thanks anyway,I'll set up redirection via php...don't want to mess with htaccess too much ;]
