I edit .htaccess file in forum root folder like this

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA] 


When I type

http://hamednet.com/testpage.html
Don't redirect to Google !!

RewriteEngine on into your server already. You can use it as you wish through the htaccess file. mod_rewrite is enable in all bluehost sever

bluehost sever is strong and support bluehost are not mendacious

bluehost sever are sure that mod_rewrite is enable in my host

Thanks for your advice

Hello Catherine,

In the instructions that Mert linked, the directive in .htaccess looks like this:

Code:

RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]

In your .htaccess, it looks like this.

Code:

RewriteRule testpage.html http://www.google.com [R]

Please correct it, and report the results here.

Hi Ace Shattock

in upside post I write mistake

excuse me

I check now and content .htaccess file in forum root folder ( /public_html/forum/.htaccess )

like this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R] 
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

I type http://hamednet.com/forum/testpage.html but >>> Page not found

Well try this:

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R] 

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

I Clear previous .htaccess code and replace with "Michael Biddle offer

but don't redirect to google !!

I'm woeful

did you make a testpage.html ?

the page shouldn't 404, with or without the htaccess file in place.

Dear

I don't make testpage.html

I do like Check if mod_rewrite is working and just edit .htaccess ( don't make testpage.html )

follow these steps EXACTLY:

• ftp into your site
• create a NEW folder, "/mytest" (linkable to yoursite.com/mytest/)
• make a new file in /mytest called "testpage.html". Just put basic html in it
  
  Code:

  <html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>TEST PAGE</body></html>

• View the page in your browser: http://yoursite.com/mytest/testpage.html
  you should see TEST PAGE on your screen
• Make a new file in /mytest called .htaccess. Place the following in it:
  
  Code:

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]

• Now, re-vist the same link: http://yoursite.com/mytest/testpage.html
  
  Do you see the same page, or go to google?

woooooow dears

I'm hopeful now

thanks you "briansol" your idea help me very well

because I clear all code in /public_html/.htaccess

and Put JUST this code

Code:

 
 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]

automatically redirect I to Google

Google


too , I clear all content /public_html/forum/.htaccess and replace that code Only

( whitout # Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
