Redirect domain with a query string to another domain?

Question

I need to redirect a domain that does not have any content to another domain that is working. I have GoDaddy hosting.

Domain 1: www.example-one.net: No content, just the domain.
Domain 2: www.example-two.com: Working website.

I want www.example-one.net/index.php/?query=value to redirect to www.example-two.com/value

How can I do this?

What have you tried? Are both domains on the same account / pointing to the same place on the file system? — MrWhite, Sep 22 '16 at 10:38

www.domain1.com/index.php/?query=value

In the .htaccess file in the document root, try the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.domain1.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query=(\w+)
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.domain2.com/%1 [R=302,L]

This assumes that value consists of just "word" characters (ie. A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and _). Also, query= must appear at the start of the query string (as in your example).

This is also a 302 (temporary) redirect. You should probably change this to 301 (premanent) when you are sure it's working OK. 301s are cached by the browser, so can make testing problematic.

Thanks for your kind reply. But this solution is for single domain redirect. My hosting have two domain. Among them , one domain has content i.e. one can see website and other domain has no content for now i.e. one can not see website. – Momin Iqbal Sep 24 '16 at 04:53
