I am trying to redirect
http://www.uia.be/services to http://www.uia.org/services/home.php

so I put 'services' in the 'from' field
and http://www.uia.org/services/home.php
to the 'to' field
but I am only arriving to the 'services' page... the redirect does not work (with none of the redirect types)!

Can you help, please?

Tomas

Hmm... that's odd. What happens if you just put "services/home.php" in the "to" field?

Is home.php a physical file? Can you get to it by typing the URL into the browser? If not, it could be a server misconfiguration -- probably in your .htaccess file.

Hi,

Can't shorten the 'to' field - the TLD is different.

Yes, home.php is a physical file.

Any more thoughts? I really need to start using a redirect, for many pages.

Thanks,

Tomas

Testing the URLs provided, it seems like you got this working!

Works, but only after I found out that the page being redirected (e.g. services) must actually NOT exist in Drupal. If it exists, the redirect does nothing and the actual page is displayed. This is non-intuitive. Should be clearly explained somewhere otherwise users would think (as I did) that the module does not work.
