.htaccess is very powerful. Even the slightest syntax error (like a missing space) can result in your content not displaying correctly or at all.
Since .htaccess is a hidden system file, please make sure your FTP client is configured to show hidden files. This is usually an option in the program’s preferences/options.
Let’s do these step to create a redirection by .htaccess file.
1. Create an empty text file using a text editor such as notepad, and save it as htaccess.txt.
2. Edit the contents of the file. Check the following examples:
301 (Permanent) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different URL on a permanent basis. This is the most common type of redirect and is useful in most situations. In this example, we are redirecting to the “mt-example.com” domain:
1 2 | # This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/ |
302 (Temporary) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different temporary URL. This is useful for SEO purposes when you have a temporary landing page and plan to switch back to your main landing page at a later date:
1 2 | # This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain Redirect 302 / http://mt-example.com/ |
Redirect index.html to a specific subfolder:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | # This allows you to redirect index.html to a specific subfolder Redirect /index.html http://example.com/newdirectory/ Redirect an old file to a new file path: # Redirect old file path to new file path Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html Redirect to a specific index page: # Provide Specific Index Page (Set the default handler) DirectoryIndex index.html |
3. Upload this file and re-name it to .htaccess
