Redirect Page

tomED

Ok My brain is on a "no work please" day......

Simple problem I would have thought. I have 2 domains pointing to the one website.

I want domain2.com to redirect to a file if you go to domain2.com.

i.e. www.domain2.com redirect to domain2.com/file.htm

However, if someone comes into www.domain2.com/anything/, they shouldn't be redirected. "anything" is a number of different folders that are already created n the server.

Domain1.com should not be affected at all, that shouldn't be redirected.

I've tried a few things with mod_rewrite, but can't seem to get it going!

Thanks in advance!

You need to use a script as your DirectoryIndex, and check the HTTP_HOST in that. For PHP, it would be something like:

[php]if (preg_match('/^(www\.)?domain2\.com$/', $_SERVER)) {
header('Location: file.htm');
} else {
// Default action for domain1.com
}[/php]

I agree with Ken. If you're on a windows server, the asp code would look like:

<%
if instr(request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST"),"domain2.com") > 0 then
response.redirect("somefile.htm")
end if
'normal page gets processed if it's domain1.com
%>

Ok sorry - I left out an important piece of information (Told you my brain was on go slow)

The sub directories (i.e. domain2.com/whatever/) do an fread of the main file (i.e. index.php) - which means using script like this isn't possible.

Unless, you can write me more code to check that if they are in a directory, don't redirect?
