I've gotten some great feedback on this question, but would still really like to see some kind of example code to help me get started. I suspect I'll need to use RewriteBase and RewriteCond in addition to RewriteRule, but I'm not feeling all that confident in my, ahem, analysis.
In my case, for any given virtual host, I need everything to go to landingpage.php *except* for requests to anything in /se or anything in /bfg (both are aliases - Alias /se /opt/product/version/se). Can anyone throw together some simple directives to show me how I might accomplish this? I also need to pass along the original URL, but I imagine I can work that out if I understand the first part well enough. The rewrite itself is where I think I'm most lost. Any similar config examples would be very much appreciated. Thank you. On 6/28/06, Rob Wilkerson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
First let me say that I hope this is the proper mailing list for my question. If that's not the case, please redirect me and I'll be happy to post there. I'm taking over an application that currently includes an Apache module written to redirect web traffic to one or more virtual hosts. In looking at what it does, I'm wondering whether I can accomplish the same thing with mod_rewrite and not have to worry about: 1) rebuilding the module for each version of Apache and 2) compiling for multiple versions on multiple platforms (windows, linux, solaris - currently). Here's what the module does (and, consequently, what I need mod_rewrite to do): 1. Operate within one or more virtual hosts, but not necessarily within others 2. By default, redirect all incoming traffic to a single point of entry (e.g. mylandingpage.php) which will then redirect as needed 3. Forward the originally requested URL to the landing page (this is the part that might be the killer). Our current module writes a request header with this info that is read by the landing page. 4. Accept or allow a list of excluded directories which should *not* be redirected. For example, I have a directory "/se" which must be delivered without first accessing the landing page. The more I read, the more it seems like this might be accomplished using mod_rewrite rather than a custom module, but I'd like some confirmation from others with more experience than I have and, if possible, a sample configuration that implements such a scenario. Any insight, suggestions or assistance with this would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Rob Wilkerson
