not able to remove redirect?!?

srama7 · October 3rd, 2005, 8:56 AM

I had installed mambo CMS on my site and hence had a redirect from www.mysite.com/* to www.mysite.com/mambo.

I recently moved all mambo folders to root, so I went to cpanel to remove the redirect. Even though I receive a "redirect removed" message, the redirect is still there.

Please help. I can't seem to get rid of it.

edit your .htaccess and remove the redirect statement which contains the redirect you're wanting to get rid of.

It should be located in your public_html directory.
The line will read something like

Redirect permanent / http://www.mysite.com/mambo

Also, make sure to clear your cache - the redirect might still occur because your browser assumes it should redirect.
