Title: Website Redirect
Post by: Jon_Reynolds on February 15, 2006, 01:20:28 AM: Hello,

I have an e-smith box with the domain of www.domain.com at a clients facility. They are building a new website but in the meantime want people who come to www.domain.com to instead be redirected to www.differentnamedomain.net.

I have changed the hostnames and addresses to point to the new site but it doesn't work, it still resolves to the site hosted on the SME server. The new site also uses virtual domains so pointing to just the IP address doesn't work. I have been reading about 'Redirect' in apache and was wondering if that is what I need to do.

Can anyone give me some hints or a point in the right direction?

Thanks for any help,

Jon

you can also use this

And that is preferably, because it doesn't depend on javascript being available.

You should also add text and a link which will display even if the refresh advice isn't followed.
