The easiest way to redirect traffic is to use the built-in capabilities of the Apache web server, and more specifically, to use decentralized management of server settings using the htaccess file. Directives can be placed in this file, by executing which, the software will redirect visitors to the Internet addresses specified in the file.
Instructions
Step 1
Open a simple text editor such as Notepad. Its capabilities are enough to create an htaccess file and fill it with the necessary content. Directives are contained in it as strings of plain text and can be edited in the same way as files with the extension txt, html, js, etc.
Step 2
Formulate traffic redirection commands that suit your needs. If you need to implement sending absolutely every visitor of any of the pages of your web resource to the same URL, then the following line should be placed in the htaccess file: Redirect / https://kakprosto.ru The Redirect directive in this entry is the redirect command … The forward slash (slash) here denotes the root directory of the site, that is, the directive applies to requests for documents in all folders on the site. Any request for your site's files will trigger the redirection mechanism. But if you put a similar file with other directives in a subfolder, then its commands will take priority for Apache. And https://kakprosto.ru here indicates the URL to which the server software should send traffic. You need to replace it with the address for your redirect.
Step 3
Instead of the root directory, you can specify any site folder. Then the redirect rule will apply only to visitors requesting documents from the specified directory and all its subfolders. For example: Redirect badBoys / page with php extension, then the redirect will work, and if any other (htm, html, etc.), then there will be no redirection. This mechanism is implemented using the RedirectMatch directive. It uses a regular expression (regexp) to compare the redirect condition and the request from the browser: RedirectMatch (. *). Php $
Step 4
Save the generated redirection directive to a file called.htaccess and upload it to the root folder of your site. Please note that the file name starts with a dot, that is, it only has an extension, but no name.
