Setting up a web page redirection in Linux cpanel

[Manuel_]

You can setup webpage redirection using Linux control panel, to setup it please check the steps mentioned below:

* Log into your cPanel, and look for 'Redirects' under Site Management.
* Put in the current directory into the first box
* Put the new directory in the second box
* Choose the type (temporary or permanent)
* Click 'Add' and you are done.

To remove it, just choose on the same screen to remove it.

Re: Setting up a web page redirection in Linux cpanel

Have you double checked your redirection settings in WHM. We used to be able to use the cPanel Redirects utility to insert just a subdirectory name in the redirect-to field. But now we are forced to insert a whole URL instead. As such, when you insert a URL of this same web site, even though it includes a subdirectory, the apache system will see the domain and evoke the redirect again, thus the infinate loop. I KNOW I can set this up manually via .htaccess, but I need to be able to tell our hosted customers how they can use their cPanel to do this.
