Can't Redirect Domain to Subdomain

Posted on February 28, 2014

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

Thanks for the reply. It still doesn’t work though.

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?

It is enabled as far as I can tell. When I type in sudo a2enmod rewrite it says Module rewrite already enabled. <br> <br>Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64
