Question

I have two websites, domain1.com and domain2.com. The admin section of both website is under the /admin directory.

I need the public website on domain1.com to redirect to domain2.com, but I still need to access the admin subdirectory on admin1.com.

Is this something I can easily do with .htaccess?

Answer 1

In the htaccess file in the document root of domain1.com add this somewhere appropriate:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
