hte hostgator redirects are not working right for me, they are combining part of the old URL with the new url? Hostgator cannot figure it out so i was told i have to do it through htacess.

can someone tell me how to send one domain to the other

for example i want justaTest.com to forward to thisanexample.com

I know i could google it but i am tired and really do not want to try and figure it out!

.htaccess ways

1. Single page:
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

2. Whole site:
Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com

Other way for a standard html file (edit the url in the refresh line):
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" Content="0; URL=http://yourdomain.com">
</head><body></body></html>

Rob is right on point.

Now, based on your comments -- "they are combining part of the old URL with the new url"; it sounds like you may have quite a few directives in the file.

If this is the case, the logical order of directives may be off. When this happens, your server will redirect you to the wrong place.

Try one of the following (Be sure to save your original .htaccess file):
1) manually write a new .htaccess file and type just one redirect directive/rule.
2) use your Cpanel redirect functionality to accomplish the same (this may be easier).

If your new file works, then it just means that one of the directives on your original .htaccess file was off.

BTW, to do a simple redirect from one domain to another - you only need to do what Rob suggested. So, you don't need any other lines of code on your .htaccess file.

Hope this helps.

if i set up the redirects through the hostgator control panel it will redirect www.oldsite.com just fine but if you try a sub page www.oldsite.com/test it will go to www.newsite.com/test

it basically takes the subpage file name and smashes it onto the new redirected domain. I have abunch of domains redirecting on HG and only 2 of them do this

here is my htaces code

RewriteEngine on

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.newdomain\.com\/new\-the\-new\-new\-the\-new\-new\-new\-new\-new\-new\-with\-new\-the\-new\-feed\-new\-new$1" [R=301,L]

see any problems? Basically what is happening now is that is you type in olddomain.com it will redirect fine to newdomain.com. but anytime you type in say olddomain.com/test_file.html it will redirect to newdomain.com/test_file.html whenit should go to newdomain.com. It basically takes the file extension and tacks it onto the back of the new domain??
