.htaccess forwarding

[en3r0]

Not for a pligg site, but for a regular website located in a sub folder, I just want people to be forwarded to the domain name I now have.

I have tried to get this working, but it seems that it has to be the exact address with slashes and everything, or it wont work.

Anyone know what I could do so that I don't have to add 4 different variations of the address?

my old site had /index.html files, now using wordpress installed o a subfolder - this is what I use

RewriteEngine On
Redirect /index.htm http://dollars5.com/plete/index.php
Redirect /index.html http://dollars5.com/plete/index.php
Redirect /index.php http://dollars5.com/plete/index.php

Thank you very much for your reply! I'll be sure to try this out when I get home!

But my online pal told that this can be optimized using pattern matching somethings like (.*) and would get replaced to proper. But I am able to do that with RewriteRule and never successfully with Redirect.

Anyone can optimize this with Redirect mod_rewrite? apache gurus - pls come to limelight... with suggestions and ideas.

Thanks in advance.

A detailed documentation for mod_alias (Redirect is called that way) is found at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html

Alright, I have everything under control. I thought that apache would only redirect the exact url. It will work with or with out the trailing slash. One line was all that was needed.

Redirect /folder http://www.foo.bar


Thanks for your help!
