Hi everybody,

Having an issue with a redirect not working correctly. Here is the redirect I'm trying to use:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^marcellomonteiro.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.marcellomonteiro.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/bjjcoach\.com" [R=301,L]

I put it in:

Custom .htaccess rules at the top of the file

in htaccess. When going to marcellomonteiro.com I want it to redirect to bjjcoach.com but its not working for some reason and I don't know why. Any ideas?

Thanks

Your rewrite rules are wrong, that's why they are not working. Moreover, you don't need them! Here's how to accomplish the same thing:

Go to Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker and expand the "Optimisation and utility" tab. In the "Redirect this (old) domain name to the new one" field enter:
marcellomonteiro.com,www.marcellomonteiro.com

Expand the System Configuration tab. Make sure the host name fields read:
bjjcoach.com
and that the "Base directory of your site (/ for domain's root)" reads:
/

Click on "Save and create .htaccess" and you're set!

Hi Nicolas,

Actually tried to do it the way you mentioned previously and it didn't work. The redirect still didn't take effect and marcellomonteiro.com doesn't redirect to bjjcoach.com. Any ideas?
