Redirect all requests for .html files to another domain

[tigertom]

I want to redirect all requests, for all files ending in .html only, in a sub-directory, to the files of the same name, in subdirectory of the same name, on a different domain:

i.e.

[tootle.com...]

should redirect to

[DOODLE.com...]

and

[tootle.com...]

should redirect to

[DOODLE.com...]

and so on for all the files ending in .html only

I've had a look 'round for the right code, but found nothing useful, and I'm not smart enough to work it out.

in your htaccess file write the following line

RedirectMatch 301 ^sub-directory/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+).html$ [example.com...] [L]

added: this will catch any file with a name using the characters a-z,A-Z and hyphen(-)

Thanks very much for doing that. I'd never have worked it out on my own.

Oops .. except it doesn't seem to work.

The [L] flag is for use with mod_rewrite only, and this code is for mod_alias.

Try this instead:

RedirectMatch 301 ^sub-directory/([^.]+).html$ http://example.com/sub-directory/$1.html

If "it doesn't work," please try to provide details on *how* it doesn't work (i.e. what does it do that it should not do, and/or what does it not do that it should do), and any information that appears in your server error log (if applicable).

There's something wrong with the way the server is set up. I still get the original URL, even when I do a simple redirect. It's a cheapo hosting account, so that's probably the reason.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to save this page, as this sort of info is very useful.
