I have the following code:

Redirect /email http://email.secureserver.net

Which doesn’t seem to be working. Basically, I need to be able to redirect someone when they go to http://www.thedomain.com/email/ to http://email.secureserver.net

Now I want this to be able to work on my testing server and also when it goes live so I don’t have to change the code.

So for testing the URL will be something like: 

www.testingserver.com/clients/drews-garage/live/email/

And for when it goes live it will be:

www.thedomain.com/email/

So based on the code I provided above, that should work either way but it doesn’t seem to work on my testing server. I tried a 301 redirect to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

    I suggest you to use mod_rewrite‘s RewriteRule. Rather than mod_alias‘s redirect.

    RewriteCond %{Request_URI} /email/?$
RewriteRule ^ http://email.secureserver.net [L,R=301]

    The above will match email/ in your URI path. So, clients/drews-garage/live/email/ as well as email/ will be matched.

    Redirect /email http://email.secureserver.net

    Is not working because of your URL:
    www.testingserver.com/clients/drews-garage/live/email/

    The above is trying to redirect www.testingserver.com/email/

    or mod_alias might not be loaded. But, mod_alias is usually loaded by default so this case is very unlikely.
