Say I have a www.example.net and www.example.net and example.com is an Amazon S3 site setup to redirect all pages work fine i.e www.example.com/page1.html redirects to www.example.net/page1.html buy for another webserver I have the administrator dong the redirect and although the plain unadorned page works fine when I add a full URL including a page it doesnt work, why would that be.

In both cases, I am using a HTTP permananent rediect (301).

  • Can you include the redirect code?? I am sure there is something wrong. I blanket redirect that would redirect an entire site regardless of the URI. – closetnoc Jun 28 '15 at 21:37
  • @closetnoc Im not doing the redirect myself, asking the administrator but compare songkong.net with songkong.net/buy.jsp – Paul Taylor Jun 28 '15 at 22:09
  • I assume that both links should go to the same place (domain/directory and then domain/directory/file)? If that is the case, the redirect has been done incorrectly. The first example in this answer: webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/77987/… is a blanket redirect to another domain. You will of course need to modify the example, but that is easily done and not technically difficult. – closetnoc Jun 28 '15 at 22:16
  • How are you redirecting the pages? .htaccess file or apache/nginx configuration file or any other method? – Aakash Jun 29 '15 at 9:20
  • In the end I moved over to using Route53 & Amazon S3 to do all the redirection to the site. – Paul Taylor Dec 23 '15 at 15:30
