cPanel and redirect option problem

higge · #1 01-26-2008, 11:37 AM

Good afternoon folks.

I have a minor problem I'd like to solve.

I need to have a redirect from http://worldwar2talk.com to http://worldwar2talk.com/forum but when I do it from cPanel "redirect" option, it gives no error and should work ok but it isn't.

Actually nothing happens, no redirecting.

Is there something I am missing?
May someone kick me to right way.

Thanks in advance

Jarkko

Hi, not sure on redirecting to within the same domain? Should work ok. But i did notice that there is nothing at the forum url?
If you do have a problem, there is always this link below.

Thanks Chris, I'll look at that link.

Hi Higge .. Here's a past forum posting that is useful for redirects..

How to Redirect & Cloak a a url
Sometimes we want to redirect or cloak a url, the below code is very useful for these purposes.

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.yournewsite.com">

Paste in html in the meta area... CONTENT="# of seconds before the redirect

Works good... Hope that helps... Doug

Yep! all ok now.

Thank you both, I think I have it now.
Oh, another thing, now that it is redirected, does SE spiders follow that redirect too?

Well, I have a re-direct but the inverse of the topic above. My cPanel may have been accidently redirected by another co-worker. How do I get back to my index page? My website is www.jeffersoncountyhealthdepartmentwv.org

thanks

Did you try to remove the redirect from cPanel?

Hey Higge... Why not make your forum page the index page for your site and skip the redirect?..Doug
