Hi,

I am trying to use 301 redirect using .htaccess to help with my SEO.
I have looked around the internet and everything I try just doesnt seem to work.
I want all various link to be redirected to http://www.frogger.com.au/

This is what I have done but for some reason it just doesnt work.
Any ideas ?

Code:

Redirect 301 http://frogger.com.au http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://frogger.com.au/ http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://frogger.com.au/index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://www.frogger.com.au/index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/

I think its because of the first "http". Try "index.html" instead of http://frogger.com.au/index.html for example.

I tried doing the below as you said but I still dont get any redirection.

Code:

Redirect 301 index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://frogger.com.au http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://frogger.com.au/ http://www.frogger.com.au/
Redirect 301 http://www.frogger.com.au/index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/

Flogger,

Have you tried Rewrite?

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

Code:

Description:
    The goal of this rule is to force the use of a particular hostname, in preference to other hostnames which may be used to reach the same site. For example, if you wish to force the use of www.example.com instead of example.com, you might use a variant of the following recipe.
Solution:

    # For sites running on a port other than 80
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^fully\.qualified\.domain\.name [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://fully.qualified.domain.name:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [L,R]

    # And for a site running on port 80
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^fully\.qualified\.domain\.name [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1 [L,R]

Thanks for reply

This seems to work now:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^frogger\.com.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.frogger.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

But how do I get the index.html to redirect ie:

http://frogger.com.au ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/


http://frogger.com.au/ ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/


http://frogger.com.au/index.html ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/
http://www.frogger.com.au ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/


http://www.frogger.com.au/ - Canonical URL (no redirect)


http://www.frogger.com.au/index.html ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/

Try to add this after rewrite rules:

Code:

Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/

Works fine for me.

Thanks drowzee. I added the below but for some reason the site just hangs and doesnt load the page.

Code:

Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^frogger\.com.au$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.frogger.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

works ok with out

Code:

Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.frogger.com.au/

But I am left without
http://frogger.com.au/index.html ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/

http://www.frogger.com.au/index.html ---> 301 redirect to ---> http://www.frogger.com.au/
