    Hi all! My first post!

    I have a forum at http://otherblahblah.com/chs and I was redirecting
    the base domain www.blahblah.com to that URL. I finally decided to
    install an updated version of the forum, so I did so, and created it in
    www.blahblah.com/forum. All good so far.

    So then I went into the redirect area of my cpanel to turn off the redirect
    to the empireneptune.com/chs but it wasn't listed there...the problem is
    www.blahblah.com still redirects to empireneptune.com/chs, even though
    that redirect isn't listed.

    And if you type www.blahblah.com/forum (the direct link to the new
    forum) it redirects to the old forum! :(

    Can someone please help me figure this out? I'm lost. :/

    welcome to the Cpanel community , namu !! :) :) :)

    Try check in the .htaccess file if the redirection is setup correctly

    Thanks Tweak! Great welcome. :)


    Well, here's what was in my htaccess file:


    So it looks like the redirect is still there when it shouldn't be.
    So, how do I get cpanel to recognize that there shouldn't be
    that redirect? Or, what can I change manually in the htaccess
    file?

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    Consider Upstream .htaccess Files

    I know in the past sometimes I erased something from a .htaccess file without considering what was in the .htaccess files "upstream" per-se.

    For example, if I had a redirect in the .htaccess file for the URL http://www.myDomain.com/awesomeProduct to point to http://www.myDomain.com/awesomeProduct/manual and deleted that entry to no avail, perhaps there might be something in the .htaccess one directory up to do the exact same thing. In that case, that entry would also need to be removed in that .htaccess file.

    Of course, the thing that always fustrated me was when I was editing a local copy of .htaccess meaning to FTP upload it, forgetting to upload the file then wondering why my server was being all "weird." Oops :)

    Check in /home/ folder whether there is a .htaccess file.
