    Hello,

    I'm trying to redirect readers of my PostNuke feed (/backend.php) to my new feed at FeedBurner.

    I don't want to loose the readers of my feed, so do you know how must I do it?

    Thanks.

    You might have some trouble with that because feedburner is looking at the backend.php as your feed when you would redirect it to your feedburner URL then feed burner would be looking at the feedburner URL basically going in circles..hopefully that makes sense.

    You will need to change the URL that feedburner is picking up the feed from. So either figure out if you can change the backend.php to another name or consider switching to xbackend from lexibus. Once you have a new URL other thanyourdomain.tld/backend.php for feedburner to pick up on you can use a .htaccess redirect to move your readers over to feed burner feedburner URL.

    I've just testing this myself on my own site. It's seems to be easily done with a couple of lines in your .htaccess file. Add the following line (changing the actual feedburner link to your own...) to your .htaccess file just after the rewrite engine is turned on (RewriteEngine On)

    Code

    # redirect to feedburner
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
    RewriteRule ^backend.php http://feeds.feedburner.com/MarksModules [R,L]

    I've uploaded an .htaccess file with these lines but nothing has happened?

    Does anybody know if I have to modify something more?

    Thanks.

    Those are the only changes required. You require mod_rewrite support on your hosts servers - do PostNuke's short urls work for you?
