Hi.. I thought I had a handle on this RewriteRule stuff, but am having
an issue.
I've read through the FAQs and the group, but can't figure this
specific one out.  Forgive me if it is simple...

I want to redirect all requests to http://www.abcde.com (or
http://www.abcde.com/) to http://www.xyz.com

But, I want users to be able to access specific pages under
www.abcde.com -- i.e., a request for
http://www.abcde.com/subdir/somePage.html should be allowed.

RewriteRule ^/ http://www.xyz.com
sends every request to www.xyz.com


Any suggestions?

Thanks!

This is absolutely the same, there is no difference. The browser will
start a GET request like

GET / HTTP/1.1

> RewriteRule ^/ http://www.xyz.com
> sends every request to www.xyz.com

Yes, mark the end of the string with a $ sign:

RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.xyz.com [R=301,L]

Thanks, Robert.  The $ eluded me.

All fixed now.
