 Redirect URLs with .htaccess

 Here is a quick cheat-sheet for redirecting URLs with .htaccess.

 Redirect a web page or directory
 Redirect a specific page:

 Redirect /old-resource.html http://example.com/path/to/new-resource.html

 Redirect entire directory to new page:

 RedirectMatch /old-directory/ http://example.com/path/to/new-directory

 Redirect a web page to a directory
 To redirect any page to a directory:

 Redirect 301 /page.html http://example.com/directory/

 Likewise, to redirect a specific directory to another directory:

 RedirectMatch 301 /directory http://example.com/directory/

 Redirect entire site
 If you move your site to another domain, and want to redirect all URLs to their equivalent URLs on the new domain, add this to the root .htaccess file on the old domain:

 Redirect 301 / http://example.com/

 Or, if you simply want to redirect all URLs from the old domain to a specific page on the new domain (such as the homepage), add this to the root .htaccess file on the old domain:

 RedirectMatch 301 / http://example.com/specific-page.html

 Redirect from one file type to another
 If you change the extension of your web pages, say from .html to .php, with the file names remaining the same, add this to .htaccess:

 RedirectMatch 301 /(.*)\.html http://example.com/$1.php

 Alternate redirect methods
 Redirect via <meta> tag in the document <head>:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://example.com/">

 To redirect via PHP, add this to the very top of any web page:

 <?php
     header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
     header( "http://example.com/" );
 ?>
