Automatic Intranet "redirect"

[JakeParlay]

I'm working on a site hosted on our corporate intranet. I managed to get Google Analytics hooked up and working, which is nice because it's much more robust and easier to use than going through our server guys for stats.

Employees can arrive at the site by typing in their address bar:

site
or
site.mycompany.com

However, Analytics only seems to register usage on the full domain name. What's the best way to "drive traffic" to the full domain name? Any ideas?

Do you have control over the httpd config? If so, I'd say you should be able to pull this off with a virtual host name in your httpd config (in case of apache)

or a very simple solution, create a php file that redirects the user to www.yourname.com if the requested_uri = yourname

I'd love to employ either solutions, but it's a pretty restricted intranet..

I don't have any direct controls like 904 said, and php isn't installed anywhere within the company. I got it installed on one of our test environments, but they wouldn't install any of the extensions so it's pretty useless



thanks anyhow, I appreciate the replies

you can also use javascript offcourse... php is just more compatible (in case js is turned off)

put something like

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location=='yourdomain') window.location="http://www.yourdomain.com/";
</script>

in your page
