[SLUG] Redirects in Apache
I want to set up a permanent redirect in Apache so that: www.mydomain.com brings up: www.mydomain.com/with/a/long/path/index.html but when I do a straight redirect of / to www.mydomain.com/with/a/long/path/index.html it just keeps the extension the the root URL and promptly bombs. What is the correct method for doing this where the base domain name and the root of the extended domain name are the same. www.mydomain.com is a virtual host BTW. -- Howard.

Re: [SLUG] Redirects in Apache
you could try RedirectMatch /* http://www.mydomain.com/with/a/long/path/index.html Being in a VirtualServer shouldn't matter. It works for me. I'm not sure what difference there is between RedirectMatch and RedirectPermanent though. Some erudite person might tell us ;-) BTW, I have an idea that you might need the full URL.. .including the http:// part. But then I could be wrong. That's the way I did it. Once I get something working I'm inclined not to mess around any further. David.

Some erudite person might tell us ;-) RedirectMatch is similar to Redirect in that it's a temporary redirection by default. That can be changed by putting permanent between RedirectMatch and the regex. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch for more detail.

[SLUG] Redirects in Apache
From how I read the Apache manual the following redirect _should_ work, but isn't: Directory /var/www/guest/LANNet Redirect permanent /var/www/guest/LANNet/GIMP_Manual http://manual.gimp.org/manual/GUM/GUM.html /Directory I have a zero length file /var/www/guest/LANNet/GIMP_Manual and all that is happening is the browser returns with an error to the effect that the file contains no data. Can anyone point out where I am going wrong, pse. -- Howard.

Re: [SLUG] Redirects in Apache
Yep, restarted Apache. If I remove the file and type the full URL then I get the 404 File not found error. -- Howard.

Point take, and I will give it a go, but the doco states: "Also, Url-path must be an absolute path, not a relative path, even when used with .htaccess files or inside of Directory sections." -- Howard.

Ah, silly me as well! *URL* path... But they can be absolute or relative just as much as file paths. Didn't pick up on the path you had. :) - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://lwn.net/daily/ -- "Ever had a morning where you were not kissed and told "I love you," when the night before you SCREWED so wildly that you could not remember?
