Troubles with redirecting

[Alegiano]

In the redirect form I wanted to put a redirect from domain/smf to simply domain/.
However, I glitched the forum software and wanted to revert it. So I went to the redirect page again and checked the box to delete it. However, I got an error "could not delete the redirect". When I got back to the redirect page - the redirect as gone anyway.

However, the redirect is still working! And now that it no longer appears on the redirect list, there is nothing I can do about it.

How can I manually revert this?

Are you the server administrator?

If not you have to ask your hosting provider to fix it.

If you are then you need to edit files in /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/<username>

You should be able to find where the redirect is in there and manually remove it.

I am the server administrator.
I'm sadly new to this.

I can't seem to find any folder /usr at all. The top folder contains subfolders called .htpassword, logs, prive_html, public_ftp et cetera. Where am I supposed to look?

You have to login to your server via ssh.

And ssh be?

What I've been doing so far is accessing my files on my domain through FileZilla (the FTP server). I tried to do the redirect by logging into domain:2222, after which the DirectAdmin screen pops up and I can do stuff. I see no folder as you described anywhere.

Nevermind I was wrong it only puts it in .htaccess file in your domain folder.

So login to ftp and go to:

/home/<username>/domains/<domain.com>/public_html

Then edit the .htaccess to remove the redirect.

Replace username and domain.com with your actual username and domain.

I see! The redirect indeed seems to be gone now. Thanks! :3
