htaccess

Basically I have set up some add on domains but I want it to forward to these if going to the exact url.

e.g. you can currently go to www.mysite.com/myaddondomainad/ and also www.myaddondomainad.com

Basically what I want is for it to forward to the domain name address if you go to the directory bit.

you can do that with cpanel

you mean the redirect?

wouldn't that just redirect all who go to www.mysite.com/mysite/randompage.htm to the home page of the addon domain though? Unless I do it with each page, and to be honest with 1000 odd pages I'd rather not

I think something along the lines of:

[code:1:4c44006c3b]RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
MaxRedirects=5

RewriteRule ^thedir/(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.com/$1 [R=301,L][/code:1:4c44006c3b]

...should work. Just replace thedir with the directory name and put in one of those for each addon domain.

I haven't tried the maxredirects option in any mod_rewrite statement, but it's supposed to stop you getting into infinite loops if something goes wrong.

Use the following code and save it as .htaccess
Transfer it to the web-root on your server.

[code:1:f86839489e]
Redirect 301 /old-page.html http://www.new-url.com/old-page.html
Redirect 301 /myaddondomainad/ http://www.myaddondomainad.com
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
[/code:1:f86839489e]

The first line should be applied to individual pages (you need to change "old-page.html" for your own application).

The last 4 lines prevent the .htaccess file from being read through a browser.

For future reference, here's the official apache site http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod....html#redirect
