XF 1.4 Redirects Clashing?

[Charlie J]

I own a domain and would like to have a Redirect which is mydomain.com/Vote however when the redirect goes to a page i setup it keeps saying "That page could not be found" because it keeps clashing with the xenforo thing, anyway i can change?

 

[Charlie J]

Let me rephrase, i want http://toxicnation.net/Vote/ to redirect to http://toxicnation.net/pages/Vote/ however it wont work because it says
"ToxicNation - Error
The requested page could not be found."

Sounds like there isn't a redirect set up. How have you setup the redirect?

 

[Charlie J]

I used hostgators domain redirect system

 

[Mike]

Unfortunately, as I don't know how that system is working, I can't really provide a great recommendation. XenForo uses a "catch all" redirect in .htaccess to handle friendly URLs. Assuming that their system is modifying .htaccess, the redirect would need to be moved up in the file before the default XenForo redirects.

Can you show us the contents of your .htaccess file? (Not htaccess.txt)

Sorry for late reply, there

 

[Mike]

Right, move the bottom 3 lines (which are what the redirect tool added) up so they're just below:

RewriteEngine On

 

[Charlie J]

What XenForo addon has this, it has a minecraft acc thing on there posts on at bottom then u click on it to see that

 

[Paul B]

You would need to search the resources.

 

[Charlie J]

Yeah but anyway u could help at all?

 

[Charlie J]

Also quick note, i tried the .htaccess file from @Brogan just now and Thanks that worked lol, i just want it to be disguised if possible so it displays from web bar as toxicnation.net/Vote rather than the toxicnation.net/pages/vote thing
