Parked Domains Suddenly Not Redirecting

[Metzae]

I set several parked domains up about a week ago and each of them redirected to another domain. Everything worked fine for several days but now it's suddenly not working. In the cPanel, under Parked Domains, every time I click the Manage Redirects link, it takes me to the right page and even says that I've successfully changed the redirect. But when I come back to the page ALL of my redirects point to the default address (which is Palpatine.org).

I recently updated my .htaccess file to include a ton of redirects, but I didn't put any of the parked domains in the file. I'm not sure if this could be affecting it, but I thought I'd throw that out.

Please help!

I've tried the method in the above KB but it still doesn't work....???? neither did editing the .htaccess file in the domain or subdomain...

I'm trying to point a subdomain to another subdomain?

sub1.domain.com -> sub2.domain.com/dir

I've added this to the .htaccess file as well with no success

Redirect /sub1 sub2.domain.com/dir

Give this a try.


Redirect 301 sub1.domain.com/ http://sub2.domain.com/dir/


Ok, the trailing slash on sub1.domain.com will redirect any request on that domain to the new domain. For example, if you get a requests of sub1.domain.com/someotherfile.html it will redirect to http://sub2.domain.com/dir/someotherfile.html

When using a redirect, the site you are redirecting too needs to be the fully qualified domain. Which means you need to include the "http://".

Also I've added a 301 to the redirect, this tells search engines that it is a permanent change, and they will update their indexes accordingly. If it is only a temporary redirect, change the 301 for a 302.
