.htaccess redirects

Hi, I'm a total newbie to .htaccess.
I'm trying to set up .htaccess so that if the user is comming from a specific domain name, they will be redirected to a specific directory in my server.
Please help!!

thank you
Jake

>>comming from a specific domain name


I assume you are talking about HTTP_REFERER instead of REMOTE_HOST.


Here you go..


#place this into your .htaccess file at http://www.mydomain.com/.htaccess


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} www.specificdomain.com/(.*)?
RewriteRule ^/?$ /specific_dir/ [R]
#/specific_dir/ should be as http://www.mydomain.com/specific_dir/

This should be the only method for .htaccess way. You can also write an index.pl script to do the same task.


A newbie to .htaccess should never try to learn this. BTW, check out -> http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html and see if you understand it. If not, check out -> http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/directives.html
