Redirect Your Webpage To Another Website

Revision as of 13:21, 6 September 2016 by Phil.cs.jhu.edu (talk | contribs) (Clean up markup, fix a typo.)

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