[users@httpd] Redirection
Hi there
I have just moved our mail server from
http://mailexample.bsfc.ac.uk/mail.cgi to http://example2.bsfc.ac.uk/horde/
but staff have set their bookmarks in I.E and Netscape to the first one..,
and have started to complain (they dont want to re-set their bookmarks!!)
is it possible that when a user goes to
http://mailexample.bsfc.ac.uk/mail.cgi they are auto-redirected to
http://example2.bsfc.ac.uk/horde/
what do i need to put in the mail.cgi file to get it to auto-redirect to the
new mailserver, I know it should be pretty simple, but my brain just ain't
working :(.
Regards

Well, the easiest way to do this is to put
Redirect /mail.cgi http://example2.bsfc.ac.uk/horde/
in httpd.conf. But if you would prefer to make a new mail.cgi you can
just have it output the line
Location: http://example2.bsfc.ac.uk/horde/
plus a couple \n's.
