I'd like to redirect this domain http://tossource.com/ to this subdomain http://tossource.com/portal.php I've created a mod_rewrite and edited the .htaccess file but it doesn't seem to work. I'm currently using this: DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm

try this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tossource.com$
RewriteRule ^$ http://tossource.com/portal.php [L,R=301]

Have you tried restarting Apache?

I've restarted apache and it still doesn't work. I've checked the error logs and it doesn't have anything about failing to redirect. Could this be a problem with mod_rewrite or the apache configuration in general?

Is mod_rewrite enabled? What OS are you using?

It is enabled as far as I can tell. When I type in sudo a2enmod rewrite it says Module rewrite already enabled.

Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64

Set AllowOverride to All in your virtualhost config, does that fix it?
