How to forward URLs but keep everything after the domain.

[pbx2]

Hiya, I'm using Apache (and not willing to change to nginx) and have started moving stuff over to a new domain.
I want to keep the paths while still routing traffic to the new domain.

Example:

www.test.com/i/gjs12 -> www.test2.com/i/gjs12

This needs to be automatic and cannot be done on a per page basis.

This should be what you're looking for, more specifically the RedirectMatch section.

You can use mod_rewrite

 

If two sites are on different server:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new_domain.tld/$1 76 [R=301]

Served by the same Apache:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old_domain\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new_domain.tld/$1 76 [R=301,L]

 

or if you want both www and without www

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
  RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

or you can put this in the root .htaccess

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://newdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I did this and now it's half working
It forwards to the new domain but also doesn't work correctly

It does this:
test.com/i/test -> test2.comi/test


Edit: Never mind this was due to me not setting up PermanantRedirect properly for SSL
