Question

I need to do the following on my apache webserver :

Redirect any URL starting with :

 http://mydomain1.com/archive 
 to 
 http://mydomain2.com/archive

Is there a way using mod-rewrite or RewriteEngine to disguise that URL, so that the URL that appears in the browser is mydomain1.com ? I don’t want to give away the fact that we are switching servers.

Answer 1

Try adding this in the .htaccess from domain1.com/archive

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule (.*) http://mydomain2.com/archive [P]
</IfModule>

Edit: Tell me if you’ve tried this and if it worked or not.
