How do I redirect a page not found in my /html directory using the Redirect URL tool?

Answer by:  Andy Hickl, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

The Redirect URL tool can only be used for pages found within a full domain’s html/ directory.  Make sure that you select the appropriate domain name from the Web Site Management Page immediately prior to clicking on the Redirect URL button.

There is no way to use the Aplus.Net Control Panel Version 2.0 to automatically set up a URL redirect for pages found in a subdomain.  To set-up URL forwarding for pages in a subdomain, you will need to use an .htaccess file in the directory that you want to redirect.

Your .htaccess file should contain the following code on a single line:

Redirect / http://redirectedsite.com/filename.html

Where:

http://redirectedsite.com/filename.html = the actual URL of the site that you want your old page to be redirected to.
