How to re-direct requests for one page to another via .htaccess file ?

[tmyonline]

Hi guys:

 

I need to re-direct requests for "http://www.information.domain.tld/*" to "http://information.domain.tld/*". How should I configure the .htaccess file to make this happen? I appreciate your help. Thanks.

1. In the directory you want to redirect, create (or edit if it already exists) the .htaccess file. Note the leading dot which is required.

2. In one complete line, without any additional line feeds, enter the direct command.

 

The redirect command has the following format: redirect status old-url new-url

- Status is optional and may be one of the following:

 

      permanent - (301) resource has moved permanently.

      temp - (302). resource has moved temporarily.

      seeother - (303) resource has been replaced.

      gone - (410) resource has been permanently removed. (When this status is used the new-url argument should not be used.)

 

 

3. Save the file

4. If you created the file, you may need to set the permissions to be web readable. If you have access to the chmod command then type chmod 664 .htaccess.

 

an example for .htaccess file would contain the line

redirect permanent /techrx/test http://new_url/

change the "/techrx/test" with the path you want to redirect

change the "http://new_url/" with the new url
