I was wondering of someone could help me write a cgi script that when some one goes to this website, http://ejk.myip.org:88/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi
it will automatically re direct them to here:
http://ejk.myip.org:88/phpBB2/index.php

[Brainchild]

How about this or maybe This one and the Google
Hope that helps some,

but where do i put in the url to redirect to??

[Praetorian]

How about creating a .htaccess file?

Quote:

Redirect /ikonboard.cgi http://ejk.myip.org:88/phpBB2/index.php

Put that inside a file called .htaccess and upload it to the directory. Give it a shot then.

[e980238]

nah that didnt work

[Praetorian]

And you're putting that inside the directory that has ikonboard.cgi?

[e980238]

yes

[e980238]

is there any way that I can just edit the ikonboard.cgi file to display a message and a link to the new url?

[e980238]

#!/usr/bin/perl

$default='http://ejk.myip.org:88/phpBB2/index.php';

($other,$url) = split(/=/,$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});

if($url =~ /\&x/)
{
$url =~ s/\&x//g;

if($url ne "")

$url =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$url =~ s/~!/ ~!/g;

}

$url=$default;
}
print "Location: $url\n\n";
exit 0;
