How to create a 301 Redirect

Step1:

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com

The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)

 Step2:

To rewrite we should on the RewriteEngine on

Syntax:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.starevents\.in
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.starevents.in/$1 [R=301,L]

sample code

 .htaccess.file:

RewriteEngine on
