Question

Ho can i redirect all requests for pattern host.com/* to otherhost.com/*

For example all request for host.com/page1 need to be rewritten to otherhost.com/page1

The difficult part is that requests to host.com itself (home page) shouls not be rewritten.

This is what i tried to do
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://otherhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But keeps rewriting all request including the homepage

Any help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

You should add some conditions :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://otherhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]
