I have two domains hosted by +Net. My basic one at
www.<username>.plus.com, and one at
www.<mydomain>.me.uk.I wanted to put a redirect from the first one (which only has an 'index.htm' page and the graphics and css sheets associated with it) to the second one.
The first domain is in the /htdocs/ folder, the second in a sub-folder of /htdocs/. The second already has an .htaccess file to prevent hotlinking.
After reading the tutorial, I made an .htaccess file which read as follows:
| Quote |
| Redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.mydomain.me.uk/index.htm |
and uploaded it to the /htdocs/ level.
I then tested it.
Firefox didn't work, giving me a message that it wasn't redirecting properly. IE7 thrashed about a bit, then came up with a 404 while showing the 'mydomain.me.uk' in the address bar.
I then changed the .htaccess file to read:
| Quote |
| Redirect 301 /index.htm http://thejudge.me.uk/index.htm |
That didn't work either: same result as before.
I then deleted the new .htaccess file completely from the server...
...and found that the redirect now
did work, but only in Firefox. IE7 now showed the 'username.plus.com' page.
Trouble is, I've now changed my mind about putting a redirect in at all, but I can't get it to
stop redirecting.
Can anyone figure out:
a) why the redirect didn't work in the first place
b) why it started working
after I'd removed the .htaccess file which contained the redirect
c) why the redirect only works in Firefox
d) how do I get it to
stop?
