Luigi123 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 how much time does it take for redirect to take affect?If you configured properly without any mistakes, then this action will mostly take up to 5 or 10 minutes to be effective.
capcom Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Will the URL will also show redirected domain link? I have a heliohost link ( subdomain.domain.heliohost.us ), but trying to redirect it to my new domain (subdomain.newdomain.com). both points to the same folder though. I setup about 2 hours ago, but when I got to my heliohost link, it is staying there only and not moving to my new domain without heliohost. see attached for my redirect setup.

Luigi123 Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 That picture seems right to me.Try following these steps to see if this helps youCreate / modify .htaccess as follows: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine onOptions FollowSymLinksRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^apps.domain.comRewriteRule ^(.*)$ redirectToGoogle.html [L]</IfModule>Make sure that you changed apps.domain.com to your own subdomain and also change the redirectToGoogle HTML to your own.Create another HTML file and name what you just put it in above and forward to the desired site by replacing from http://yoursite.com to your custom domain. <html><head><META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://yoursitehere.com"></head></html>Please let us know if is still not working and I will escalate this to our root admin for assistance!
capcom Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks. After few tries I decided to add redirect on my site, but found this better option. This link help me fix the issue.https://serversitters.com/cpanel-redirects-not-redirecting.html#:~:text=To%20fix%20this%2C%20after%20you,should%20work%20without%20any%20issues. If you have setup a redirect using the Redirects icon in cPanel, it may not always work. The reason for this is that the redirect icon will create the rule for the redirect in the .htaccess, but it will place this new rule at the bottom of the file. So if you have any other redirects happening ahead of the new rule that conflict with the new rule, then the new redirect just won’t work.To fix this, after you have created the redirect, you need to find it in your .htaccess. Move the lines to the top of the .htaccess file, then re-save it, and now the redirect should work without any issues.
