redirecting a url

[sepultribe]

hi. im having a problem with a redirection occuring in my website. when i go through this link [example.com...] i get redirected to sth like [example.com...] and that annoying. so i want to put a .htaccess file so that this redirection doesnt happen.

note that through this link : [example.com...] everything is ok. no redirection.

plz if anybody knows sth about this tell me

ps: i dont remember my exact apache version but i think its 1.3

Do you have rewriteRules in your server config?

how can i check that?

[wusin]

add this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [yourdomain.com...] [R=301,L]

and make sure your server support rewrite mode.

This will redirect all visitor to www.yourdomain.com/.

Please correct me if something wrong.

no thats not what i want really. the redirection i want is only from a specific url to another specific url.

in my case www.example.com/forum ~> www.example.com/forum/

Apache mod_dir will add a trailing slash to any directory-index URL which is requested without one.

I suppose you could remove mod_dir from your server's load list if you don't want that to happen, but it's a "Web standard" that directory index URLs end with a slash.
