Wildcard .htaccess redirect

[figment]

Hi Guys, i want to redirect ALL links from an old website to ONE single page (Root) on a new domain.

The code I have is:

Redirect 301 / http://www.domain.com/

This tries to match the original directory path on the new domain eg:
www.blah.com/about will redirect to www.domain.com/about .
This is what I do not want.

Instead i want:
www.blah.com/about to point to www.domain.com/

Can you help?

Thanks,
Alan

You can probably expand / tweak this: Canonical Urls With Mod Rewrite - Mod Rewrite Tips and Tricks

[php.allstar]

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

Sorry guys, no joy with either solution.

I can probably ask one of our guys on Tuesday - he's a bit of a whiz with regular expressions + mod_rewrite ..

Links should help...

 

[php.allstar]

Sorry guys, no joy with either solution.

I'm surprised my above solution doesn't work. Maybe there's a conflict in your .htaccess file? Can you paste the contents of your .htaccess so I can have a look? But before you do, try this...

RedirectMatch permanent /.* http://www.domain.com/

Thanks for all the help Guys.
The solution that worked was:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

PHP.Allstar for some reason removing the brackets in your solution made the difference.

.htaccess wildcard redirect example

i own multiple domains for my site MethodShop, including methodshop.com, methodshop.net, etc.. When doing maintenance, i'll divert traffic between the different sites so my users don't have their experience interrupted. below is the htaccess wildcard script i use. it takes whatever URL the user attempts to access and mirrors that link on another domain.

for example,
http://www.methodshop.net/games/play/bubblewrap/index.shtml

would redirect to
http://www.methodshop.com/games/play/bubblewrap/index.shtml

here's the script....

#htaccess script for methodshop.net
#rewrites all methodshop.net URLs to methodshop.com

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.methodshop.com\/$1 [R=301,L]
