Different ways to redirect URL

A quick guide on redirection with Apache, NGinx or just plain HTML.

Apache

A very robust way of redirecting. Just paste this in your .htaccess file:

Redirect 301 / http://clubmate.fi/

NGinx

Paste this in your NGinx server block, or into a nginx.conf file in your projects root.

server {
    # Direct this address...
    server_name example.com;
    # ...to this address
    return 301 $scheme://example.net$request_uri;
}

Using meta redirect

A bit more “lighter” method with timing. Paste this inside your head tag.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://clubmate.fi/">

That 0 is a time (in seconds) how long the browser waits for the redirect.
