No Indexes Redirect

[The Little Guy]

I have directories that don't have index pages, instead of using:

 

Options -Indexes

 

I just want to redirect to my main site. how can I do that?

[requinix]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ / [L,R]

(The Cond checks if the request was for a directory.)

hmmm.... doesn't seem to work.

 

This is on a sub-domain, and I want to redirect to my "main" domain. The sub-domain has all the images user upload, none of the directories have index files, so if they don't hit a file directly, such as a jpg it needs to redirect them to the main site.

 

I don't know if that helps at all, but the code you gave doesn't redirect me at all (even after changing / to http://mysite.com)

The second half of the RewriteRule is the path you will be redirected to. In the case of requinix's code / represents document root. If the .htaccess file is on a sub-domain this will refer to the document root of the sub-domain. If you wish to go to the home page of main domain, just swap the forward slash out with your domain name.

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ http://www.mysite.com/[L,R]

@cags (previous post):

Location: http://img.hostbox.us

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ http://hostbox.us/ [L,R]

It was purely a hypothesis, I'm not entirely surprised it didn't work, though I couldn't tell you the reason, I was just making a suggestion on the solution you'd already tried. You could just check if the requested path ends with a forward slash.

 

RewriteRule /$ http://hostbox.us/ [L,R]

[requinix]

You could just check if the requested path ends with a forward slash.

Note: this works because Apache will redirect any "dir" request to "dir/" by default. That behavior can be turned off with a DirectorySlash, in which case checking for a trailing slash only works when the users visit "dir/" directly.

This works:

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-d$
RewriteRule .* http://hostbox.us [R=307,L]
