Example:

Between the header tags on index page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=http://sunshineweb.org/">

in the body:

This website has moved to http://www.sunshineweb.org<br>
If your browser does not automatically redirect you in 10 seconds<br>
click <a href="http://www.sunshineweb.org">here</a> to go to the new site.


Simply replace the urls you wish to redirect your site too. You can change the redirection time too, for that you change the 10 after content= in the meta tag.

I think you didn't get what i meant. I meant any value of xyz could be used [Image: msn_tongue.gif].

Then i don't get you...a website has an addy not a random xyz...
Anyways the redirect i posted you can put on any page you wish to redirect, but normally only the entrypage will do to redirect the whole site since ppl tend to see that page first. Just make sure you put in the correct urls.

no no, the 10; belongs within the same quotes as the url (its all under the definition content=)

Create a file called .htaccess and in it write:

code:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://abc.def.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Assuming it's an apache server, that'll work.

Edit:  Oh, and put it in the place you're redirecting from. ;)

I meant that if the user goes to -
1. http://mno.def.com/page.html he gets redirected to http://abc.def.com/page.html
2. http://mno.def.com/home.php he gets redirected to http://abc.def.com/home.php
3. http://mno.def.com/index.php?c=te he gets redirected to http://abc.def.com/index.php?c=te
etc....

No, the quote sign doesn't belong there, Sunshine had it right. I'm late :p

You can use 0 as time to do a instant redirect (in that case you don't even need a body since it will never show):
code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.google.com">

Every page has a header right? All you have to do is change the metatag to hold the correct redirection url...

1. http://mno.def.com/page.html he gets redirected to http://abc.def.com/page.html
on that page you use the url http://abc.def.com/page.html as redirection url
2. http://mno.def.com/home.php he gets redirected to http://abc.def.com/home.php
Here you use http://abc.def.com/home.php as redirection url.

Understand? Ofcourse if you use php to load the same header everywhere then every page will get redirected to wichever you set in the header to be loaded.

I can't make each and every possibility [Image: msn_tongue.gif].

Put it in the place where the files would go... if you wanted it to redirect from http://mno.def.com/ then put it in the directory for that.

Not preferred because it needs javascript enabled, when you use something like that, make sure you provide an alternative for people with script disabled.

But looks like Felu already got it anyway :).

Just providing all the possibilities.
