htaccess redirect every request to root? catch all..

[hsriat]

Hi,

I have been trying to redirect request to any of the pages on an "under-construction" website to root.

e.g. redirect www.example.com/randomxyz to www.example.com

I wrote this code, but didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

RedirectMatch ^([.]+)$ http://www.example.com

Hey.

I'm not all that used to using RedirectMatch, but that kind of looks like an indefinite loop to me.
It redirects everything to example.com, even example.com.

Try something like

RedirectMatch ^http://www.example.com.+$ http://www.example.com

P.S.
I've moved this over to the Apache forums.

No success man... still the infinite loop.


Anyway... don't worry... I'm not implementing it now.

Thank you :)

I think you may need the extra / in there at the end of the .com in the match side. Maybe that will help?
Also possible the http://-etc does not appear i nthe match behavior?

RedirectMatch ^http://www.example.com/.+$ http://www.example.com
 

Anything good here?
