    Hi! Im migrating a website for a client. The website was on a apache webbhotell. There was a folder with a index file pointing to an external url. How do I do it with centminmod?

    If I for example want the url sub.mywebsite.com to redirect to centminmod.com.
    ( The domain uses cloudflare )

    does index file do the redirect to extenal url ? if it does then you wouldn't have to do anything as the index file i.e. php file redirects via php code to external url, then the php file will do the same with centmin mod.

    The structure is the same as it was on the webbhotell but it doesnt seem to work.

    The subdomain is called j4. So there is a folder in the public/ named j4 and inside it there is a index.php file with this redirect but I just get an error when visiting it. Did I do something wrong?

    Code:
    <?php
header("location:https://100.20.120.50/login");
exit;
?>
    I found this way to do it in cloudflare. I dont know which is the correct way or if it matters?

    Why have the server work any harder? Just forward the subdomain on Cloudflare w/ the guide you posted.

    looks good only diff for my php redirects is i use uppercase L in location not sure if that matters

    but yes instead of using php use nginx for redirect might be better

    Have you checked out these guides ?

    Awesome. Thanks! That was exactly what i was looking for.
    One upside with it is that cloudflare only has 3 free rules.
