Page redirection using PHP?

quackers · 16 Dec 2008 at 17:29

Lo all,

i've got a domain, let's call it test.com for now with 000webhost.com. The server got hacked yesterday, it's only a test/project site for me to learn html/php etc so i deleted everything last night.

What i want is say someone sticks www.test.com into a browser, it will automatically take it to www.test.com/home.php. In the control panel for the hosting, i can't see anything to do this. At the moment it just takes them to the root of the directory with access to all the files.

Anyone got any ideas? Can i do this with PHP?

Hmm that doesnt seem to want to work, at first it got stuck in a loop and now i get an internal server error

How do you do that sic?

After reading about, it appears you can't just use the 301 redirect from the root to a new page. This does work, but i'm having a few problems with the images at the moment

RewriteBase /

RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=2

# Also redirect the root folder.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?test.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ currentsite/holding.php [L]

IndexIgnore *

This takes www.test.co.uk to www.test.co.uk/holding.php

Well the wierd thing is now, whatever file i put into the root or folders and then view using a browser. Avg goes mad and say's it's infected! I'm using Wamp, if i scan the WWW directory, everything is fine!

I'm just running some virus scans now, this is got me really confused just as i had it working as well

can someone goto: http://www.phil-irvine.co.uk/wooo.html and see what happens?

I've just mad the most basic of html files and it automatically puts the analytic code at the bottom, Avg tell's me it's infected!

Someone give this a go, www.phil-irvine.co.uk. It will redirect using the .htaccess file, does anyone get any virus warnings?

Can you see any exploit code?

quackers · 16 Dec 2008 at 23:48

Where the heck is that? Is that from their site?

Ah i see it's from their error code

nothing to do with me, i suppose that's what you get with free hosting. I think i'll remove everything for now, there must be still a problem with all the sites getting hacked and redirected to the chinese website

Indeed, i just wanted a holding page to be up but i think i'll wait a while or possibly think about some other hosting
