htaccess redirect

[dmacster]

One of my clients has three+ sites - one of the sites used to be hosted singularly as a main site, but now is to be consider a directory of a new site. Basically, the old site was sitename1.com and the new site is desitename2.com - the old site is now in a directory desitename2.com/Dining. Hope that makes some kind of sense.

Can you give me a simple htaccess example of the redirect?

Is it like this

Redirect sitename1.com

http://desitename2.com/Dining

Thanks for any clarification.

I'm confused - wouldn't that redirect everything hitting the server to the one directory?

The new main site is okay - type in the url and you go there. Problem is type in the original (now sub-site) end up at main site. Just want the original to go to the directory.

thanks,

Take a look at the docs for the various redirect options and syntax, and pick the one that works best for you:

[ul]
[li] Redirect Permanent[/li]
[li]RedirectTemp [/li]
[li]RedirectMatch [/li]
[li]Redirect[/li]
[/ul]
If you are unsure of you syntax try this after saving your conf file & [!]BEFORE[/!] starting Apache:

apachectl configtest

If you are unsure of this command... again, back to the docs:

apachectl

If all else fails, try the Apache forum:

forum65

Let us know your results!

Make this change to your httpd.conf.
This will redirect all requests to sitename1.com to desitename2.com/Dining.

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@domain.com
    ServerName [URL unfurl="true"]www.sitename1.com[/URL]
    ServerAlias sitename1.com
    
    Redirect / [URL unfurl="true"]http://desitename2.com/Dining[/URL]
</VirtualHost>
