448191 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hmmmdaniel? Doesn't the rewrite rule need to match the whole request uri, as in ^(.*)$? Otherwise it repeats the request uri for every char.. Or has this fever damaged what's left of my brain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hmmmdaniel? Doesn't the rewrite rule need to match the whole request uri, as in ^(.*)$? Otherwise it repeats the request uri for every char.. Or has this fever damaged what's left of my brain? The two regexes (.*) and ^(.*)$ are equivalent. Because the star quantifier is greedy, it'll match as much as possible. Then when given a string, it will always have a start, which the caret anchor matches and an end, which the dollar anchor matches. Had you done something like (foo) then it had matched regardless of where foo appeared in the URL and then you would have needed ^ and $ to make sure it's the only thing. sorry. i removed the pointer from my host provider and used the htaccess file , and it doesnt work oddnerdrum.info just is white blank. any more help greatly appreciated. thanks. Look, you need to remove the file in the screenshot and then place the .htaccess file where that index.html file is. I can't tell you where that is. Frankly, I would assume you know more about your setup than I do. Everything I know is the things in this topic.

silverglade Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 i bought a new account for oddnerdrum.info i got sick of trying the redirect. also \ hi, i just submitted my site http://oddnerdrum.info to google a week ago. the keywords for it relate to "odd nerdrum". i have a lot of content on him on my index page. and you can see how i linked to other sites here http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=%22oddnerdrum.info%22&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=b9f14b8456039e. my other site, http://derekvanderven.com/mainsite.html , that domain has been around for a few years so its second in rank on google for "odd nerdrum" sometimes. i was wondering if and when you think my "oddnerdrum.info" will rank as good as my other page, or what id have to do to get there? any help GREATLY appreciated. thank you. derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
