[Question] 301 Redirect

Hello everyone

i've changed my domain from www.emuleboard.net to www.techsupportforum.de, is there a way to redirect (301 via .htaccess) from www.emuleboard.net/threadxyz1.html to www.techsupportforum.de/threadxyz1.html ? The Thread IDs are the same, so it must be possible, but how

I've to say that both domains are in the same folder (Confixx) so the following does not work

Code:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ http://www.techsupportforum.de/$1.html [R=301,L]

Or can i write this that it works??

Yours,
Sven

I'm pretty sure the following will work for you:-

Code:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.techsupportforum.de/$1 [L,R=301]

Sorry, maybe a mistake of mine in the .htaccess??

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^techsupportforum\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.techsupportforum.de/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
#RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

What I posted is the ONLY thing you need in that file if you are redirecting all traffic.

No the point is, that i have both domains on the same server (folder of confixx) and i want to keep all (vBSEO) URLs (backlinks). If there was a link at www.vbseo.com e.g. http://www.emuleboard.net/fun-forum/...ei-google.html i want that this link points the the new domain --> http://www.techsupportforum.de/fun-f...ei-google.html

emuleboard.net has just to be replaced by techsupportforum.de

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.techsupportforum\.de [NC] 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.techsupportforum.de/$1 [L,R=301]

Is this what you mean?

Could be possible .....

































muchas gratias it works perfektly (i think)

I have struggled with being able to get the 301 redirects working for not only the root domain, but for all the inner url's as well.

An htaccess in the root does the non www to www redirects.

But when you have an htaccess in the /forums/ directory as well, you need to repeat the non www to www redirect coding. But the standard one mentioned above does not work.

This works well: - added to the htaccess file in your forums, or the equivalent in your "forum" directory.

Code:

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

I think this two rules are a Tutorial worth how about pinning a separat thread? People often change their domains w/o knowing how to keep SERPS.

Problem with the above is that when the following url is accessed - ie without the trailing slash

Code:

http://domain.com/forums

it redirects to:

Code:

http://www.domain.com/forums//home/domain/public_html/forums

Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Try adding a slash character:

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