 |

Hi, I am newbie. I have a site: somesite.com And there is a subdirectory (somesite.com/newsite) which is linked to another domain: newsite.com
So the contents of newsite.com can be also available using url: somesite.com/newsite And I want to make a redirection from somesite.com/newsite(.*) to newsite(.*)
I tried this (in .htaccess in root directory):
| Code: | | RedirectMatch 301 /newsite/(.*) http://newsite.com/$1 |
But I got 302 Message (Found. The document has moved here.). It's because Apache made redirection if I used domain newsite.com too.
So I tried this:
| Code: | RedirectMatch 301 http://somesite.com/newsite/(.*) http://newsite.com/$1
RedirectMatch 301 http://somesite.com/newsite/(.*) http://newsite.com/$1 |
And this:
| Code: | RewriteRule http://somesite.com/newsite/(.*) http://newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule http://somesite.com/newsite/(.*) http://newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L] |
But none of it does any effect.
What am I doing wrong? Or is there any other way to solve the problem? Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
is it really necessary to use RedirectMatch (trying to play with regexes)?
It can be easier to use Redirect like:
| Code: |
Redirect permanent /newsite http://newsite.com
|
placed in somesite.com server setting/VirtualHost container. |

The redirect has the advantage that everything after the URL is also putted to the new url, not just the domain name.
I'm not an expert for rewriting, so I don't know how to put the 301 header into it, but rewrite the URL to the new server works like this
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://newsite.com/%{REQUEST_URI}
