There are three ways to do this...a Refresh metatage in your index.html file, the Redirect command, or Rewrite rules; The refresh tag, I'll leave you to google. For a redirect, in the VirtualHost section for your basic site, you could put in this line: Redirect / https://my.site.domain The drawback to both is that if the viewer puts in anything other than just "http://my.site.domain";, such as "http://my.site.domain/test";, it won't be redirected. The following rewrite rule (which I'm using on my home system, as well as for a number of sites at work), also placed into the VirtualHost section for the site in question, will redirect everything: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(/.*) http://my.site.domain$1 [L,R] -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
