Hello all,

I need a simple rule making for me. I'm useless at URL re-writing. I've tried for hours with no usable result.

Basically, when someone goes to www.domain.com/mail i want it to redirect to www.anotherdomain.com/webmail.

The current one works but it will do it whenever the word "mail" is present in any part of the URL, which is causing problems with some scripts.

Any help is appriciated.

Andy

AbyssUnderground,

I take it you have tried the following variations
Quote:

^/mail$
^mail$

^/mail/$
^mail/$

^/mail/?$


the ^ means start of line
the $ means end of line

You could always be lame like me and just make the webmail folder, stick a index.php file in it with header('Location: http://website.com/mail/');. That's what I do. :P

Thats what I'm trying to avoid. Its for people I host so they don't have to remember the domain and path to the webmail, the /webmail will simply redirect them to it and there is no way they can remove it because a folder won't exist to do so.

As roganty said, your regex is
Code:
^/mail$


The character you're looking for is the $. It is the terminating anchor.
