how do I redirect all traffic to a specific file in my html directory based on referrer with .htaccess?

I've tried various lines and I can't get it to work.
#programming #based #file #htaccess #redirect #referrer
  • It is possible although I am not sure what the use is that you are trying to make of .htaccess for redirectional purposes.
  • I use a site called corz.org for a lot of htaccess tips (no affiliation).
  • In the example below, we look for referer's from somesite.com and then redirect them to a page on your site called yoursite.html.

    Code:
    RewriteCond %{http_referer} ^http://([^.]+.)*(somesite).com
RewriteRule ^$ yoursite.html [R=302,L]
    Please note for this to work you will need to have permission from your hosting company to use directives from the mod_rewrite module.

    Hope this helps...
