Magento – How to redirect the Home Page in Magento? (301 permanent redirect)

magento-1redirect

I have a CMS-Website and a SHOP-Wensite and I try to redirect the Magento Homepage to my CMS-Homepage. At my server the cms and magento are in two diffrent folders. If I click at myshop.domain.com it should be redirect to cms.domain.com

I've tried with a new page in magento and at "system > configuration > web > default pages" I choose my new page as home page.

At this page I can't use PHP (header location) …or Javascript (document.location.href)

How can I redirect (301) my Magento HomePage to my CMS-Homepage?

With htaccess?
I found Catalog > URL Redirects but my 301 didn't work?!

You should set ../ as target path, see the screenshot below:

Now request to www.domain.com/network-nvr201-08lp will redirect to www.domain.com.

Theme Redirect – 404 Redirect to Home Page, Banner Slider Not Working

Most probably a js file is not loaded when viewing the homepage as the 404 page.
if the js file is added from the layout file like this:

<cms_index_index>
    <reference name="head">
       <action method="addJs">....</action>
    </reference>
</cms_index_index>

You should add the same xml for the layout handle <cms_index_noroute>.
If the file is added in a template file using:

<?php if ($this->getIsHomePage()) :?> 
    <script...></script>
<?php endif;?>

you might want to change the logic of that. There is a bug/feature in getIsHomePage that makes it return true oly if the url matches the homepage.

Magento – Magento url rewrite issues – all pages without www redirect to homepage

Adding this to htaccess fixed the exact same problem for me.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
