Subdomain redirect scripts

[ElvisFan]

Okay... a little dense... if I wanted to create a page called

www.elvispresleynews.com/WattsRockin

because I still want visitors to see go to my Elvis site however, in Watts Rockin publications to read the url elvispresleynews.com/WattsRockin

how do I set it up... if I just had the url Watts Rockin as the url can they still visit my other pages...

Now the big question is how so I set this up in FrontPage... and in Plesk

Please be gentle... as I can't get my head subdomains... thanks, Lea

Look how fast it it is. I reckon it's faster than .htacess and definitely alot faster than meta-refresh or JS.

It gets a Server Not Found page. This is probably not the result most people are looking for.

Probably beacuse the sub-domain has been removed over the last 18 months.

Just use the example code (PHP, sending a header) from the first post.

I just logged in to get help for a permanent redirect script and here it is.

However, I need an HTML .htaccess script. I've looked them up on the internet, but on my other site (trying to redirect to my site hosted here), it won't work any way I try.

My host there will not assist with the correct code.

I've tried PermanentRedirect and 301
/com.htm http://www.ozwebhub.com/computers.html

and I've tried
/com http://www.ozwebhub.com/computers

The first one (with the html extensions) produces a 500 error, the second produces nothing.
I suspect that I need something else there if I'm only using file names without htm or html There was something there originally about parsing htm and html but I stupidly deleted it and now my host support won't tell what that was.

I suppose I can use php but I never have before. Is that possible.
I have quite a few pages to add to the example I've given here.

Try

Redirect /com.html http://www.ozwebhub.com/computers

RedirectPermanent is a Apache config directive, not an htaccess one, which is why you got that 500 error.

I love you. Actually I tried that and it didn't work, so I tried adding .html to the computers bit and IT WORKED!

So if anyone else wants to know it is
Redirect /file.htm(l) http://www.yoursite.com/file.htm(l)

Now does Google know this is a permanet redirect? Because that's all it likes. I know how to do a temporary redirect.

[Collectonian]

yeah...that's the basic syntax. Wasn't sure if you were redirecting to a directory or a file.

Google should see it as a permanent redirect.

How do you get Plesk to let you create subdomains? I want to make some for one site, but when I go to the subdomain area, there is no Add Subdomain button? I have unlimited subdomains in my plan and set for the domain under its limits. Is there something else I need to set?

[RobbieLePommie]

There should not be anything you need to do; this is probably a permission thing - I know some of the Plesk permissions were not set for some of the "old timers" as new features have been added - this is probably one of them.

Just raise a trouble ticket and it should get turned on.

[Collectonian]

Ah...okay, ticket sent in. :-)
