Simple domain forwarding Q

noswad · 08-13-2005, 04:14 PM

I have my site www.ipodforums.co.uk set to forward to...

http://www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html

However, when you visit ipodforums.co.uk it says....

Not Found
The requested URL /ipodforums.html/ was not found on this server.

For some reaosn its trying to visit www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html/

Why is it adding a / on the end of the url? it is not set to do this?

Thanks.

Try to change it to
http://www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html/

I tried that and loads of other variations. It is nothing to do with that! Im puzzled??!?!?!

Looks like you only typed "ipodforums.html" as re-direction.

If nothing works, make "index.html" file in ipodforums and add this code:

"<script>
location = "www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html/";
</script>"

A quick look at the source and I see this:

<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html/">http://ipodforums.co.uk/</A></DIV>

There is clearly a slash there.

Regardless,
http://www.domain3.co.uk/ipodforums.html

returns a 404 error, page not found. Figure out what the correct URL is before you try to forward something to it.

u got an error cos i was moved the page for a moment. im not that stupid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

hmmm....I see that in the / in the code but how do i change that?

Im simply using 1and1.co.uk to redirect to a site hosted by 123-Reg.co.uk.

That code is generated by 1and1 automatically and I have no access to that code as far as i know!

I have attached a picture of my account. It is all setup properly.

Beats me why this has happened. I have no access to the source code where the / is!
