How to get Apache "Redirect" to stop appending full URL path to redirect target

  • 772

If I edit the .htaccess file for a site, say oldsite.com, and put this:

Redirect permanent / http://newsite.com/page

It works fine if I surf to oldsite.com. But if I surf to oldsite.com/about, it goes to http://newsite.com/pageabout

How do I just take any hit to the old site and put it to an absolute URL without carrying over the rest of the path?

apache-2.2
