Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Programming Discussion : .htaccess issues - Redirect

[slingshot]

I saw another post in here relative to .htaccess and redirecting domains, however, I am not getting the output that I think I desire.

I have a site http://www.oldsite.com and we purchased a new domain and rebuilt the site from scratch. The new domain is http://www.newdomain.com for instance.

We have the need to ensure all traffic forwards to http://www.newdomain.com even if someone visits a bookmark.

The following rewrite example gets me part of the way there and I have tried a couple of modified instances of the rewrite

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.newdomain.\org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.org/$1 [L,R=301]

When I visit previously bookmarked sites I am taking to the new home page, however I get this as well: http://www.newdomain.com/modules.php...e=print&sid=47 which is still a reference to the old site.

Is there away to get it to drop the garbage at the end? I have tried removing the $1 as suggested in another thread, but to no avail.

Thanks for any assistance.

In the code you gave, you used .org instead of .com ( or was that a typo ?? )

Also, in your code, you used the escape character "\" before the alphabet "o" instead of using it before ".".

www\.newdomain.\org

Escape character should be used before a special character, not after it.

Try this code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} olddomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/ [L,R=301]

Good Luck

No, the domain in question is a.org to a new .org. I'll try the above.

Thanks.
