URL redirection help needed..please.

Hi,
I have recently changed my domain name, and hence I am loosing ot on a lot of visitors on my old site. I need a url redirection script, but a different one.

For eg. if some one visits : http://www.myolddomain.com/abc/ghi/
then he should be redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/ggh/rrr/ghi/

I just want the "ghi" to remain the same. Please help me..is this possible?

 

Do you still own your old domain? Just put this in the abc folder

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.newdomain.com/ggh/rrr/ghi/">

Code (markup):

 

Yes, I do own the old domain.
But what I want is the url should be taken from the user, for eg. if the user types www.abc.com/xyz/ ,it should go to www.ghi.com/xyz/

xyz, can be anything according to the users wish.. I cannot fix it.

any clues..?

 

Try .htaccess

RedirectMatch ^([a-zA-Z0-9\/]*)$ http://www.ghi.com/$1

Code (markup):

(Untested)

 

can you please explain , what to do in the above case, I am not a programmer..

 

Save this as ".htaccess" in the root dir on the server where you want to redirect.

 

Redirect /xyz/ http://www.ghi.com/xyz/

Code (markup):

Copy and paste it into your notepad and save it as ".htaccess" file.Then upload it to the xyz folder of the abc.com directory.

 

The thing is that xyz can be anything. So the RedirectMatch would be more useful.

 

ok, thanks a lot..job done. Great!
