Subdomain Settings

    Need a little help with some settings. I have a subdomain setup: fmj.ethosource.com. If you go there, DNS is setup to take you to https://www.ethosource.com. I want to take all traffic from fmj.ethosource.com and redirect it to https://www.ethosource.com/newpage. Could someone tell me what the settings would be? I’ve seen the page on the URL and Server redirects, but it doesn’t show the first couple fields. For instance, is the source URL just “/”?

    I tried setting it up but it is forwarding all traffic, not just subdomain traffic.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    What do you mean it doesnt show the first couple fields?

    You enter the URL and server name, as shown here:

    I meant that your screenshot under the “URL and Server” section doesn’t include all the settings, so I thought maybe those were what were messing me up.

    Trying to redirect a subdomain to our About page as a test. Here are my redirect settings:

    SOURCE URL: /
QUERY PARAMETERS: Ignore & pass parameters to the target
MATCH: URL and server
SERVER: https://fmj.ethosource.com
WHEN MATCHED: Redirect to URL with HTTP code 301-Moved Permanently
MATCHED TARGET: /about
UNMATCHED TARGET: (empty)

    Entering fmj.ethosource.com into a browser just takes you to the homepage, and doesn’t redirect you to ethosource.com/about. I know I’m doing something wrong, I just don’t know what that is. Thanks for the help!

    The screenshot shows the settings specific to ‘URL and server’. The rest are detailed elsewhere.

    https://fmj.ethosource.com has an invalid SSL certificate

    https://fmj.ethosource.com is being redirected to /about. You will need to clear your browser cache.

    As of right now,
    https://fmj.ethosource.com/
    is redirecting to
    https://www.ethosource.com/ifma/

    This does bring up a good point though as with Apache and Sub-domains, one needs to include the Sub-domain dir. name in the Source URL.

    Source URL: ^/fmj/
    Target URL: https://www.ethosource.com/about/

    The above is presuming you have a dir. structure like:
    public_html/fmj/
