Automatic forwarding from one page to another

How can I have a page automatically forward browsers to another page? For example, I want everyone that hits page "http://www.xyz.com/abc" to be forwarded automatically to "http://www.abc.com".

You could use the Apache Redirect configuration command, or the advanced Apache mod_rewrite functions.

Or, using just HTML, you could use Client Pull. On your old page you put in a tag to""pull" the client through to the new page. Please note that some older browsers may not support client pull.

Use the following commands on your old page, in this example, "http://www.xyz.com/abc" to forward people automatically to the new page "http://www.abc.com":

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.abc.com">
<html>
<head>
<title>We moved!</title>
</head>
<body>
Sorry! We have moved to
<a href = "http://www.abc.com">http://www.abc.com</a>
</body>
</html>
