To redirect traffic, the easiest way is to use the capabilities of the Apache web server, or rather, using the htaccess file, use decentralized management of all settings. You can put directives in this file, if you execute them, then the software will redirect users to the web addresses specified in the file.
Instructions
Step 1
To get started, open a regular text editor, for example, "Notepad". Its capabilities are quite enough to create an htaccess file and fill it with the necessary content. It contains directives in the form of lines of plain text that can be edited in the same way as files with permissions html, txt, js and others.
Step 2
Formulate traffic redirection commands that suit your needs. If you need to send absolutely every user from any of the pages of your site to the same address, then put in the htaccess file something like this: Redirect /
Step 3
In this entry, the Redirect directive is a redirection command. The slash (forward slash) here denotes the root directory of the resource (the directive applies to requests for the necessary documents in all site files). Any request for your resource folders will trigger the redirection process. But if a similar file with other directives is placed in some subfolder, then its commands will become priority for Apache. And https://site.ru here indicates the address to which the server software redirects traffic.
Step 4
Instead of the root directory, you can specify any resource folder. Then the redirect rule will concern users who request documents from all subfolders and the specified directory. For example: Redirect badBoys / https://site.ru. It is also possible to redirect to the required address only those surfers whose browsers send requests for files of a certain type. This mechanism is implemented using the RedirectMatch directive, which uses a regular expression to match the incoming request from the browser: RedirectMatch (. *). Php $ https://site.ru. Save the generated directive to a file called.htaccess, then upload it to the root folder of your resource.
