Redirecting Visitors

From Campus Web Server Help

Jump to: navigation, search

To redirect visitors to another site, create a file called index.html in your home directory and remove any other default page (default.html, index.php, etc). The index.html file should read something like: 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">
<TITLE>Page has moved</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This page has moved. Please update your bookmarks as this redirect will
be removed /INSERT TODAY+1 YEAR HERE/.
<br><br>

If your browser does not automatically redirect you in a few seconds, click
<A HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">here</A> to go to the new page.
</BODY>
</HTML>

Of course, this can also be used as the content of any page that you'd like to redirect elsewhere. The '5' in the content attribute defines the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the user.
