Redirect site home page only

I have two different sites hosted on different servers. I would like to redirect the home page of the old site (www.oldsite.com.au) to the home page of the new site (newsite.com.au). However, I do not want any pages on the old site (www.oldsite.com.au/page) to be redirected to the new one (newsite.com.au/page). Thus, www.oldsite.com.au should redirect to newsite.com.au, but any other pages or files on the old site should not be redirected.

All the .htaccess ideas I've tried just redirect every file from the old site to the new one.

Try one of the following:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ http://newsite.com.au/

or



RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ http://newsite.com.au/ [L,R=301]

If you don't want to redirect 301 (permanent), remove 301

from RedirectMatch or =301

from square brackets in rule flags.
