Note – browsers cache redirects – if you change a redirect and then try again your browser may not be hitting the old domain when you return!!! Try using temporary redirect code 307 when you debug in place of 301 permanent redirect???
Redirect codes
301 – permanent redirect
307 – Temporary redirect
Redirect from old domain to new domain
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
or to redirect to the root directory always
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]
Redirect a single page
Redirect 301 "/old-page.html" "https://www.new.com/new-page.html"
Redirect a directory and all sub directories from an old domain to new domain
Removing the original directory from the path (with .htaccess in the root)
https://my-old-domain/my-old-directory/my-filename
redirects to:
https://my-new-domain.com/my-new-directory/my-filename
#Redirect Windows IoT site
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 ^/my-old-directory/(.*)$ https://my-new-domain.com/my-new-directory/$1
Keeping the original directory in the path (with .htaccess in the root)
https://my-old-domain/my-old-directory/my-filename
redirects to:
https://my-new-domain.com/my-new-directory/my-old-directory/my-filename
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /my-old-directory/
RewriteRule (.*) https://my-new-domain.com/my-new-directory/$1 [R=301,L]
or to redirect to the root directory always
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mydirectory/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/mydirectory/ [R=301,L]
Not sure the above is correct, the following worked redirecting a subdirectory from a domain to a new domain
Redirect anything in this directory or any sub directory off it: http://myoldomain.com/api/v100/
To this new domain and new sub directory: http://mynewdomain.com/mynewsubdirectory/api/v100/
This in the root “http://myoldomain.com/”.htaccess file worked:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /api/v100/
RewriteRule (.*) http://mydomain.com/mynewsubdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]
But placing it in the .htaccess file in the directory “http://myoldomain.com/api/v100/” instead, this was needed:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /api/v100/
RewriteRule (.*) http://mydomain.com/mynewsubdirectory/api/v100/$1 [R=301,L]
