Redirects
Important:
If you use a third-party application or content management system to add a redirect, such as Wordpress®, the redirect may not function properly. When you add a redirect with cPanel interface, the system places redirect rules at the bottom of the .htaccess file. Some third-party applications ignore the rule that you add, because those applications only read rules and configurations that their section of the .htaccess file contains.
The following example displays the configuration that you must add to the top of the .htaccess file to add a redirect for the Drupal content management system.
In the following example:
drupal.user.example.comrepresents the URL to redirect.-
http://cpanel.net/represents the URL to which to redirect.<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^drupal\.user\.example\.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.drupal\.user\.example\.com$ RewriteRule ^cptest$ "http\:\/\/cpanel\.net\/" [R=301,L] </IfModule>
Note:
You cannot edit a redirect. To modify a redirect, you must delete it, and then recreate it.
