Question

I want to redirect all user page requests to a page on the same domain.

For example, I have an ‘under construction, BRB’ page that I want all users to see when they try to access ANY page on the site.

I tried using this:

Redirect 302 / http://www.domain.com/index2.php 

What that does is try to apply the redirect to the index2.php page as well and it gets stuck in a loop where the user then sees this until the browser stops.

http://www.domain.com/index2.phpindex2.phpindex2.phpindex2.php etc., etc, 

Any idea on how to write that rule to except that page?

Answer 1

You have to exclude the file you want to redirect to. Here’s an example with mod_rewrite:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine on     RewriteRule !^index2\.php$ /index2.php [L,R=302] </IfModule>
