Redirect issue: folders and files not redirected properly

  • 772

I have recently set a new URL http://www.mytechnotes.biz for a blog I was maintaining on a subdomain http://technotes.tostaky.biz.

The redirection works in the following cases: 

technotes.tostaky.biz -> www.mytechnotes.biz
www.technotes.tostaky.biz -> www.mytechnotes.biz

But it does not work in this case:

http://technotes.tostaky.biz/2012/11/introduction-to-css-concepts.html

Yet, the following page exists:

www.technotes.biz/2012/11/introduction-to-css-concepts.html

The content of my .htaccess file is:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^technotes\.tostaky\.biz$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.technotes\.tostaky\.biz$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mytechnotes\.biz\/" [R=301,L]

I am not a sysadmin. I am relying on CPanel configuration of my host, but I can't resolve this issue. Anyone knows how to solve it? Thanks!

    The pattern (thing that gets matched) in your RewriteRule, ^/?$, explicitly only matches the root URL of the domain. I think what you want is to match anything, and include it in the redirected URL:

    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mytechnotes.biz/$1 [R=301,L]
