How do I redirect a subdomain to a specific page?
Seems simple but can't figure it out 
Do I have to do this at DNS level or on my Apache server (using modrewrite or something)?
I have read a lot about modrewrite but I'm not sure I have to use this in this case.
I want to
sub.domain.com
redirect to
http://www.anotherdomain.com/a_specific_page.htm
Possible?
Regards. |

| Code: | <?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "YOUR SUBDOMAIN NAME")
{
header("Location: http:// YOUR NEW PAGE URL");
exit;
}
?> |

thanks!
So I suppose I have to create some webspace for this subdomain and place this index.php in this folder.
I thought it was possible to redirect without even create webspace for this 'dummy' domainname. Can this be done without creating this 'dummy' site? |

Set the dns A records so that "YOUR SUB DOMAIN" ip is same as the domain.
the in the index.php file of your domain (on top) enter this.
If the user has open the site sub.domain.com then the user willbe redirected, if he opens the site typing www.domain.com he will be able to access the site. |

It can be done with mod_rewrite.
Try this:
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule / http://www.anotherdomain.com/a_specific_page.htm [R]
|
Should help.
PS. you have to uncomment LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so to enable mod_rewrite. |
