Redirect Your Webpage To Another Website

Revision as of 13:07, 6 September 2016 by Steve410.cs.jhu.edu (talk | contribs)

You want to take your personal website on our server, for example:

http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~mary

and have all requests for that site get redirected to another website, for example:

http://some-other-webserver.com/~mary

You can do this by adding a line to the .htaccess file in your public_html directory.

NOTE: There are some important files already in the .htaccess file that make PHP work on our systems. Please do erase that code from the file. Just add the following Redirect line

The Redirect line to should look similar to this:

Redirect   307   /~mary   http://some-other-webserver.com/~mary

In the example above, anyone surfing to http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~mary will get redirected to http://some-other-webserver.com/~mary


You can change or remove the redirection at any time simply by editing the .htaccess file. However...

NOTE 1: If you want to stop the redirection you need to remove your Redirect line from the file. Do not remove other existing lines from the file.
NOTE 2: Please do not delete the .htaccess file. If you do, you'll break PHP.
