Anyone knows on how to redirect a url?

Example when people browse for http://www.eclass.adzu.edu.ph I wanted the url returns automatically in the said browser to http://eclass.adzu.edu.ph

How do I do this? just like when you type http://www.moodle.org will give ypu http://moodle.org

There are other ways but I use php for this.

If you have DirectoryIndex set to index.php as well as the usual index.html in Apache you put the following in your index.php file:

<?php header("Location: http://eclass.adzu.edu.ph") ?>

You need to make sure there's no output from this file.

The same way if you visit http://www.rhino.cx ?
This url redirects to http://moodle.rhino.cx

I did it this way:

In apache I made a virtual server that catches all the request that doesn't belong to another virtual server. Also I use a * record in DNS. (Try type http://whateveritisitalwaysworks.rhino.cx it works really!)

In that virtual server the index.php looks like the attached file. (I can't paste php code here, so I had to attach it.)

And the virtual server moodle.rhino.cx, run actualy the moodle installation.

I'm almost sure that there are other ways to do this, but this also works. wink

Hope this helps you.

Maybe Martin can give his moodle.org solution wink

Huib

Thanks for the reply, I works! Question: Is this compatible to all browsers?

Martin, how did you do it in moodle.org? Is it the same as said above...

Picture of Core developers Picture of Documentation writers Picture of Moodle HQ Picture of Particularly helpful Moodlers Picture of Plugin developers Picture of Testers
In httpd.conf, make a new virtual server to catch the other addresses, and include this line to redirect them all to the main address:

Redirect  /  http://main.address.com/
