How do i redirect my apache server to another server?

Question

my apache server home page to another server
for ex: http://www.test.com

http://www.example.com
how to configure the httpd.conf file.

Answer 1

The Apache Redirect directive allows you to tell clients and browsers about documents which used to exist in one place but have since moved. This allows you to tell the clients and browsers where to look for the relocated document.

Format: Redirect old-URI new-URL

The Redirect commands need to be entered in the block within Apache's main configuration file httpd.conf.


servername http://www.test.com

Redirect /index.html +
http://www.example.com/index.html

Answer 2

Well it depends on several issues.
You can just point the DNS without even bothering apache.
Just put both domains in the dns pointing to the same IP.


In apache you use a virtual host entry

Servername www.test.com
ServerAlias *
Redirect permanent / http://example.com/


see the manual http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html
