Redirecting my website to another url
Hi,
I want to redirect my domain to another url. I want any request will be made on my domain to be redirected. EX:
www.website1.com redirects to www.website2.com/mypage/
website1.com redirects to www.website2.com/mypage/
www.website1.com/anything/1.html redirects to www.website2.com/mypage/
website1.com/anything/ redirects to www.website2.com/mypage/
I hope you got what I meant. Currently website1.com is hosted on my server.
Thank you so much for the help.

You could put a index.php on the root of website1.com
and place in it
<?php
header('Location:http://www.wwebsite2.com/mypage/');
?>
same in website1.com/anything/
but alter the Location for your needs.

<?php
header('Location:http://www.wwebsite2.com/mypage/');

Use below code in your default php file
Remove other tags
<html>
<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.newwebsite.com/mainpage.html' ) ;
?>
</html>

I know of all these suggestions. The only problem with these suggestions is if someone hits www.website1.com/anypage/ or website1.com/oldpage.html instead of www.website1.com/index.html he will hit 404 page.
website1.com used to be a website so it has several old pages. All what I want is to redirect any request will website1.com to website2.com/mypage/ ... I'm pretty sure .htaccess file will be the option but I don't know what I should write in it.

Write below code in htaaccess file, it will redirect all to example.com, whatever the traffic is
Redirect 301 / http://www.website2.com/
Redirect 301 / http://www.website2.com/
Write this in your .htaccess file of website1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://website2.com/anypage$1 [L,R=301]
Hope this helps

@abatin your line is working fine but there is a problem.
Let's say the line is : Redirect 301 / http://www.website2.com/yes/
When I request www.website1.com/no123/ it redirects to http://www.website2.com/yes/no123/
I want it to redirect to http://www.website2.com/yes/ no matter what I requested.

Yes Addy, but it always redirects to http://website2.com
I tried to set it as this but it didn't work :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://website2.com/realpage/$1 [L,R=301]
also
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://website2.com/realpage$1 [L,R=301]
Both didn't redirect to http://website2.com/realpage/ or http://website2.com/realpage as I wanted.
I have no problem trying it again if you can solve this problem.
Thank you both for the help.

Addy, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mean I have a www and non-www problem.
I mean it doesn't redirect to the correct directory.
The link I want to redirect to is : www.website2.com/newpage/
All what I want is, If any visitor no matter what he writes he will be redirected to www.website2.com/newpage/
EX: If he visited,
website1.com
www.website1.com
website1.com/oldiee/
website1.com/old-index.htm
Whatever etc...
He will be redirected to www.website2.com/newpage/
Your current code only redirects to www.website2.com ... not including the directory /newpage/
I hope my question is more clear now ...
Thank you so much for your time.

OK .. now we're talking! :)
It's exactly like I want it. One more question.
I had to duplicate your code so I can assure it's working with both www or non-www
Because If I did like this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.website1.com [NC]
non-www wouldn't redirect and vice-versa. I duplicated the code for non-www but I thought there might be one code that will work with both www and non-www
Addy, the 500 points is defiantly yours.

Awesome .. it works! :)
Also, you can use code on the actual page. What code are the pages written in?
You can put the code below in between your head tags (<head> PUT HERE </head>) on the pages you want redirected also.
