406 error

[Nomad]

Hi,

I need some help. I need to create a redirect from a folder /tmp, which currently gives a good ol' 406 error, "An appropriate representation of the requested resource /tmp could not be found on this server." Which is Apache's way of saying get lost....but I want to redirect it to index.php on my site. I used cPanel for the other error custom pages but I am a little foggy on how to create this one as it is not in cPanel.

Any help would be great!

I am on a VPS plan so I can change the mod_rewrites. Thanks for your help with this!

This is actually mod_security affecting what you are doing to prevent your account from getting hacked. Seems that is is getting in conflict with what you're doing.

What are you trying to do, please show us, so we know what to advise.

Thanks for the help Inxcode.

Well, basically I want it to be invisible from the browser and redirect it back to my main page, (index.php).

I have done this for all the other error pages, 404, etc. and directed them back to index.php,


<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=/index.php">

I am just curious on how I create one for a 406 error, (as I don't know how to make them without cPanel.

Thanks!

All you want to do in this case then, is:
HostICan - Support - Pre-Sales, E-Mail, and so many more answers... :: Header Redirect

Method 1 would work the best.

You're way you can do:

  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=../index.php">

It should be ../ not ./

or use a 301 redirect in php

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.yourOtherSite.com/index.php");
exit();
?>

might want to put this in the kb.
