Adds a web redirect or alias to some domain
A redirect maps some URL path like /foo to either a different URL, or a different directory on the same virtual server. This can be used to provide more friendly URL paths on your website, or to cope with the movement of web pages to new locations.
This command takes a manadatory --domain
parameter, followed by a virtual server's domain name. The --path
parameter is also mandatory, and must be followed by a local URL path like /rails
or even /
.
To redirect to a different URL, use the --redirect
flag followed by a complete URL starting with http or https. To map the path to a directory, use the --alias
flag followed by a full directory path, ideally under the domain's public_html
directory.
