.htaccess redirect

[Maurizio1230]

Hi all,

I try to make a redirection in Redirects Section on Cpanel 11 from linuxinvent.info to linuxinvent.info/home/modules/news but i received this error:

Redirecting / to http://linuxinvent.info/home/modules/news will cause a redirection loop because '/'

which is located at /home/linuxinvent/public_html/

is above 'http://linuxinvent/linux/modules/news'

which is located at /home/linuxinvent/public_html/linux/modules/news

On cpanel.net I see that is a bug on cpanel 11.
How can I make a personal .htaccess for redirecting from linuxinvent.info to linuxinvent.info/linux/modules/news?

Thank you very much
Bye Maurizio1230

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ^(https?:\/\/(www\.)?)?linuxinvent.info$
RewriteRule http://linuxinvent.info/linux/modules/news [R]

Something like that...I wrote that off the top of my head and didn't test it...but you want to use mod_rewrite for this.

Hi monaco,

why https?

Thanks for the reply

Sorry, force of habit The question mark will make it match http or https.

It can be ^(http:\/\/(www\.)?)?linuxinvent.info$ if you're sure you're never going to use SSL on the site.

I see this:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.linuxinvent.info Port 80

I created a file .htacce and I wrote in this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ^(http?:\/\/(www\.)?)?linuxinvent.info$
RewriteRule http://linuxinvent.info/linux/modules/news [R]

How can I edit it for right redirection?

Thanks

What's it say in the error log? You can get to it via cPanel.

[monaco]

Try

RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} ^(http?:\/\/(www\.)?)?linuxinvent.info$

 

[Maurizio1230]

but now it doesn't redirect me. I see the "Index of"

Bye Maurizio1230

 

[monaco]

Do you see the index of the directory you want to redirect to or the index of the / directory?

Try changing the rewrite rule:

RewriteRule http://linuxinvent.info/linux/modules/news [R]
to
RewriteRule http://linuxinvent.info/linux/modules/news/index.php [R]

Use whatever you use as your index page.
