Question

Here’s the code I have in my .htaccess file right now:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^centerforpolicyanalysis.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.centerforpolicyanalysis.org$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.equalhealth\.info$1" [R=301,L]

I want to redirect everyone who visits http://(www.)centerforpolicyanalysis.org to http://www.equalhealth.info

it works fine if that’s all you type in the url, but if you type a subdirectory, it fails.

here’s what I’m getting:
I type

http://www.centerforpolicyanalysis.org/index.php/2011/06/recommendations-for-preventive-services-to-women-and-girls/

and I get

http://www.equalhealth.infoindex.php/2011/06/recommendations-for-preventive-services-to-women-and-girls/

And it breaks. How do I get it to keep the trailing slash on the domain name on redirect?

Change your code to this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?centerforpolicyanalysis\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.equalhealth.info%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
