Redirect a domain to a specific page

[watsmyname]

Hello,

 

I m having trouble redirecting my domain . Lets say i have the domain www.mysite.com. All I want is whenever user types my domain www.mysite.com or mysite.com they should redirect to www.mysite.com/landing_page.php. While www.mysite.com/index.php  and all other pages should not redirect. I tried using RedirectMatch, but didnt work i got a redirect loop. Is there any way to do this using .htaccess ??

 

Thanks

Sticking something like this in a .htaccess file in your root directory should do the job...

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /landing_page.php [R=301,L]

 

Alternatively you could consider renaming the landing_page.php to index.php and move the home page into www.mysite.com/home/

Thanks  a ton cags for the reply, that worked. I changed code you gave to

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /landing_page.php [NC,L]

This shows me the url http://www.mysite.com/ instead of http://www.mysite.com/landing_page.php

As far as I can remember NC stands for NoCase which basically means make the Regex pattern non-case sensitive. Since your Regex pattern is empty, there's not a great deal of point leaving that one in there. Glad you got it working though.
