Help with URL changing

[Strahan Profile]

Hi. I'm going to spend some time with docs, but I really need to get something working sooner than later. Just need to change a url, pretty simple. If www.domain.com comes in, I want it to become www.anotherdomain.com/path/tofile.htm#anchor. I thought this would work, but it doesn't:

RewriteRule (http://www.domain.com) http://www.anotherdomain.com/path/tofile.htm#anchor [NC,L]

How do I do this? Thanks!

PS, I do have the module installed and working and turned on as other rewrites made by the former webmaster work fine.

Hello,

You set up domain in a condition, not the rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.anotherdomain.com/path/tofile.htm#anchor [NC,R=301,L]

Ahh, thanks!

PS: When I tried this, it is converting the hash mark to %23. Is there a way to stop that? Thanks again.

Hello,

I don't remember which one would work, but I'd try:
a) to escape hashtag. like '\#'
b) play with NE or NU flags. One of them may work.

Thanks, using NE did the trick!
