How do I redirect visitors using .htaccess?

I've got some visitors coming from a link place on a website, I know that these visitors are specifically interested in one thing, how do I go about redirecting them to a single page on my site using the .htaccess file?

I'm guessing it's got something to do with their refferer...

 

Ummm.. you could try playing around with .htaccess.

Try out with following .. and add values specific to your site

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com/something.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/somethingelse.html [L,R=301]

OR
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /something\.php$
RewriteRule .* http://www.yoursite.com/somelink.html [R=301,L]

HTH
pubdomains

 

That's what I'd usually do, but this time I want to redirect ONLY the visitors that come FROM a certain website. Is that possible?

 

yes. you can try and get the referer and based on that redirect to the page you want. if you're using php and need some assistance, i can probably help you out

 

I want to use the .htaccess file instead of php, the sites not in php.

 

yep, did some googling and its definitely possible.

try this link http://dmr.ath.cx/notes/rewrite.html

 

that looked promising but I couldnt get it to work. thank though.

 

hmm, did you made sure htaccess is enabled? if you want i can provide a little assistance
