I'm having trouble finding if and how can one make a forwarding redirect through htaccess from a file on my server to a specific url and then auto redirect it again to another url.
I need something like example.php ori example.jpg when it's called to redirect to http://example.com/example2.php and then to be redirected again to http://example.com/example3.jpg. Also can the delay between redirects be controlled somehow? Is it possible?

I have my old website old.com and my new website new.com. I want to create 301 redirects in the .htaccess for some specific pages and some generic 301 redirects as well.
Get parameter redirects:
old.com/a/test?u=blah redirect to new.com/a/test?u=blah
old.com/a/test redirect to new.com/a/test
old.com/a/test.php?u=blah redirect to new.com/a/test?u=blah
As you can see the only thing that changed was the domain name. How can I redirect users to the new domain but also keep their get parameter the same. So regardless of what u=, it forwards the u= parameter to the new URL. Of course if there is no u=, it still redirects to the page (as per second example)
Get parameter without putting get parameter
old.com/a/foo?u=blah redirect to new.com/a/foo
old.com/a/foo redirect to new.com/a/foo
old.com/a/foo.php?u=blah redirect to new.com/a/foo
As you can see, it directs to the new domain but does not carry the u= parameter. Same applies for the second example.
Redirect Directory
old.com/blog redirect to new.com/blog
old.com/blog/23452/how-to-tie-a-tie redirect to new.com/blog
If the site is in the blog directory, regardless of what comes after the blog directory in the URL, it always redirects back to new.com/blog
I am unsure on how to do these types of specific redirects. I only understand how to direct a specific URL like so Redirect 301 old.com https://new.com
I have two domains - https://hosting.opensimcity.org, and http://paradigm.pocketmud.com and I want to redirect the latter to the former. That is, when someone connects to http://paradigm.pocketmud.com I want it to redirect to https://hosting.opensimcity.org/paradigm
Any tips on doing this in my .htaccess file?
Just try the following htaccess redirect code:
Redirect 301 / https://hosting.opensimcity.org/paradigm
This 301 redirect response notifies the search engines that the page has moved permanently from the old URL to the new URL. The search engines also transfer the old URL page rank to the new URL.
I have a domain e.g. named www.example.com, when people type in example.com, it still can be accessed, but won't automatically add that 'www' to the url.
But as for website like facebook, if you type in facebook.com, it'll automatically add that 'www', BEFORE loading the page for you.
Probably I didn't explain it well, but guess you see the difference and get my point anyway.
So how can I make my domain acts like facebook, when people type example.com, it'll automatically add that www for them?
EDIT:
Ok, so I need a redirect to the 'www' subdomain. Actually I'm using nodejs, which hosted on Amazon EC2, to serve the webpage instead of Apache HTTP. So any equivalent of .htaccess in nodejs area?
I guess now the question shifts to more nodejs oriented, and it turns out it becomes a redundant of this thread:
Redirect all requests using Express 3?
Thanks all for your help.
you have to set your domain 301 permanent redirect in your control panel.
if your website is hosted in CPANEL then
GOTO -> Redirects in ( Domains Menu )
Choose the type Permanent (301)
choose your domain.com
www.domain.com in redirects to→ __
check the box on Redirect with or without www
finally CLick ADD
if your website is hosted in PLESK then
do it in your program level
or
plesk11.0.29 version above supports the 301 peramanent
You can do all of this with a .htaccess file.

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/
Add this in a file named .htaccess on your host, but set it to the URL you want your main page to be.
To make a .htaccess file, you can always go in FTP, upload an empty .txt file, open it with notepad, put in the lines of code above, then rename it to .htaccess.
All the urls of our site are written www.mydomain.com/sub1/cms/pagename
Through the CMS we can specify pagename
sub1 and cms are not actually directories on the server.
We need to change the pagenames to be more SEO friendly, but we still want any traffic to the old pagename to direct to the new one.
I have tried making an .htaccess file specifying:
Redirect 301 /sub1/cms/oldpagename mydomain.com/sub1/cms/newpagename
but it does not work.
I have been successful with:
Redirect 301 /oldpagename mydomain.com/sub1/cms/newpagename
Can this be done somehow through .htaccess?
First, make sure your 301 redirect rules for redirect use a full url including the http:// portion.
Redirect 301 /sub1/cms/oldpagename http://mydomain.com/sub1/cms/newpagename
Second, it sounds to me like your CMS has put a rewrite rule in place to handle the /sub1/cms/pagename style urls. If this rule comes before your redirect, your redirect will never get triggered. Try moving your redirect to the top of the .htaccess file.
I currently have a WordPress Multi-Site Network set up. The main website is located at "http://safesideinc.com." Then, there is another sub-domain "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com."
I want the URL "http://safesideinc.com" to lead to "http://safesideinc.com," and the URL "http://danielgosek.com" to lead to "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com."
Using a 301 Redirect in .htaccess, I can achieve this. However, I would like it so that entering "http://danielgosek.com" in the URL bar leads to "http://danielgosek.safesideinc.com." WITHOUT CHANGING the URL displayed--in this case, the displayed URL should remain "http://danielgosek.com."
Are there any rules that could help me achieve this?
Not possible, a 301 - Permanent Redirect, is an instruction to the BROWSER that the resource has moved permanently and the BROWSER should re-direct to the provided new URL.
If you don't want the URL to change you either need a Reverse proxy set-up between the two virtual hosts / domains, or if danielgosek.com is just an alias, same IP and served from the same Apache virtual host, you could use an internal rewrite.
