You might have the domain domain1.com which should redirect visitors to domain2.com. You could set up a virtual host, pointing to /path where an index.php file resides which forwards the user, e.g. with:
|
1 2 3 |
<?php header("Location: http://domain2.com"); ?> |
The easier way is to create a virtual host, e.g. by creating /etc/apache2/sites-available/domainForwarding with the following content:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName domain1.com ServerAlias w.domain1.com ServerAlias ww.domain1.com ServerAlias www.domain1.com ServerAlias wwww.domain1.com ServerAdmin admin@domain1.com #may be you want some logging: (uncomment he next two lines) #ErrorLog /var/www/domainForwarding/logs/error.log #CustomLog /var/www/domainForwarding/logs/access.log common Options -Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.domain2.com [R,L] </VirtualHost> |
This makes mod_rewrite (which must be enabled) to forward the request whithout the need for additional files.
Note: run a2ensite domainForwarding to enable the site and /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to update the apache’s configuration.
