Redirecting to your google+ profile

Sunday, July 17. 2011

As i wrote before, you can reach my google+ profile by using the shortcut http://c0t0d0s0.org/+ (http:/moellenkamp.org/+ would work as well). This is done by an additional line in my apache configuration.

The relevant lines are:

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteRule ^/\+$ https://plus.google.com/110984680346995237069 [R,L]

Of course you have to activate the mod_rewrite before and you have to use the url for your own profile. The easiest way is to copy the link location with your browser while hovering over the photo on the home page of your google+ account.

Really simple.

Just to list another possibility without an huge regex engine, activate mod_alias and add the following to your VirtualHost directive:

Redirect permanent /+ https://plus.google.com/YOURPROFILE

So long..

Yes, you are right! Thanks for the tip. However i need mod_rewrite for other tasks anyways

Small correction: Add a ^ at the beginning of the regex, otherwise this matches ALL urls ending with /+.

Like http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/7387-Redirecting-to-your-google+-profile.html/+ for example.

Same thing in nginx-Syntax:

rewrite ^/\+$ https://plus.google.com/107187776012317360122/ permanent;
