RE: [cobalt-users] Redirect

Wrong,  You can use the rewrite mod to do it.  Try something like this:

	# rewrite to redirect domain.com to domain2.com/folder
	RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^.*domain\.com.* [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain2.com/folder$1 [L,R]

That's right, you'll get into permission issues when trying point into
someone's else document root. If it is just another folder on the drive,
make sure the permissions allow this. Alternatively, you can use
Javascript inside your index.html file to redirect or just a HTTP
Refresh tag in index.html sending it to another URL.
