From http://www.addedbytes.com/apache/url-rewriting-for-beginners/ To redirect an old domain to a new domain: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old_domain\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new_domain.com/$1 [L,R=301] Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
