redirect not working on cpanel

[Henrik41]

Here is my issue... I am using the standard main menu module and want to redirect one item in the menu to a file.

I though it was as simple as to go on cpanel and use the permanent redirect from 

https://xxxxx.com/en/content/category/23-rma-form.  --> https://xxxxx.com/drive/myform.pdf

However cpanel is not redirecting and just gives me the same cms page.

Am I missing something?

anyone knows how to redirect a cms page on Prestashop?

Why just don't create a custom menu object with that file link instead? On menu settings.

Hi ComGraph. Because I have submenus and you can't combine custom and submenus.

I did add the directive on top of my .htaccess file but it is not working. I might be missing something.

Could you give me an example of how the directive looks like in prestashop?

 

Thanks

OK it works now.

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com$

Redirect 301 /qc/content/category/23-rma-form https://mydomain.com/drive/rmaform.pdf
