This is best done on the server (we had a redirect hack in earlier versions of Geeklog and it caused a lot of problems ...).

If you're on an Apache webserver, put this in your .htaccess:
Text Formatted Code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]
 

Obviously replacing "www.example.com" with the domain name of your site.

bye, Dirk

wich program are you using to access your server? Since .htaccess is rated as a system file, it is hidden under some circumstances. So if you have an option to show hidden files in your ftp, it should be back.

Ok i see it is hidden file but website is not working i get the mesage it can not be open because URI was overstepped or something

I put this inside
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.alternativecomplementarymedicine.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.altermedicine.org/$1 [L,R]

i want the first domain to be redirected into the second so is everything ok or mistake again

This stuff is so hard

I managed to fix it 50 %

It redirects from second to first now, but if i try to open first url directly it puts me into this

http://www.alternativecomplementarymedicine.com//home/altermed//public_html/

why it puts me into home directory

Both domain namens in the .htaccess should be the same - the one you want to use for your site. And you should use that same domain in $_CONF['site_url'] then.
