Re-directs Confusion

[TCH-Thomas]

I see in cpanel i can either set up a re-direction or a sub-domain re-direction.

 

If i wanna permanently re-direct assistans.marve.se to www.marveassistans.se, which one is best to choose?

[TCH-Bruce]

A permanent redirect if I am understanding what you are asking.

[TCH-Thomas]

Yes, a permanent is what i wanna do, but do i set it up in "Redirects" in cpanel or Sub-domains "Set up redirection"?

[TCH-Bruce]

Ahh, sorry. I would do it in redirects, not the sub-domain section.

[TCH-Thomas]

Ok.

Thanks Bruce

How fast does a redirect begin to work?

[JTey]

I was working with redirects just moments ago -- the results are almost instantaneous after clicking Add.

[TCH-Bruce]

Thomas, did you get this working? Was the original link you posted a sub-domain? Sub-domains can have their own .htaccess files. You should set up a redirect there as well.

 

In the main .htaccess file add this:

Redirect permanent /assistans/ http://www.marveassistans.se'>http://www.marveassistans.se

 

In the sub-domain .htaccess file add this:

Redirect permanent / http://www.marveassistans.se

 

I think this will work.

Thanks Bruce

The last solution worked.

I dont know why the first didnt work, can have been me missing a / or something.

Now it works though.

The trailing slash would make a difference. But I think it had more to do with it being a subdomain.
