How Do I Redirect Web Pages?

Scenarios

You can refer to the procedure below to do a 301 redirect.

Procedure

To do a 301 redirect on an ECS with the IIS installed, perform the following steps:
  1. Launch a website, for example, www.aaa.com, in the IIS.
  2. Create an empty folder on the disk.
  3. Create a website, for example, aaa.com, in the IIS and point it to the empty folder.
  4. On the home page, select HTTP Redirection and set parameters as follows:
    • Select Redirect requests to this destination.
    • Enter www.aaa.com$S$Q in the text box.

      The purpose of adding $S$Q to the end of a URL is to support redirection for a URL containing question marks (?).

    • Select Redirect all requests to exact destination (instead of relative to destination).
    • Set Status code to Permanent (301).

Helpful Links

In addition to redirection in the IIS, you can perform 301 redirects through code. The following describes how to perform 301 redirects in PHP and Apache.

  • 301 redirect in PHP 
    <?php
Header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
Header("Location: http//www.***.cn"); //Redirect to a URL with www.
?>
  • 301 redirect in Apache

    Example code for redirecting your domain to a www URL:

    deny from all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}^(****\.com)(:80)?[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.****.com/$1[R=301,L]
order deny,allow
