[How to] redirect a second domain

[macsig]

Hello guys,
which is the best way to point a domain to a page of an other domain?

Basically when someone goes to secondDomain.com must be redirect to domain.com/page2.

Can I achieve so all "server side" (without create a second site with a redirect page)?


Thanks and have a nice weekend

If it is a Apache web server then you can use a .htaccess file to do the redirect.

mod_alias

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

If only the domain name has changed, and the site folder structure and pages are in the same place then use,

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

thanks for your reply.

The second domain name doesn't need any additional page: I want to be able to access only secondDomain.com.
Is there a way to map directly www.secondDomain.com to www.domain.com/page2 ? and if you try to reach www.secondDomain.com/whatever you should be redirect to www.secondDomain.com


Thanks

Yea, just use the first example I gave and provide the file name to the end.

Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/page2

For your 2nd question:

Redirect 301 /whatever http://www.secondDomain.com/

thanks.
Sorry I didn't understand what you mean the first time.

In my second question when I put "whatever" I mean really any pages beside secondDomain.com you try to reach so can I use a regex in your second code?

Thanks again

In my second question when I put "whatever" I mean really any pages beside secondDomain.com you try to reach so can I use a regex in your second code?

So there's only one page, the home page? Why would they be trying to access anything else if there's only one page? If so, then you would use,

Redirect 301 /.+ http://www.secondDomain.com/
