Greetings all, I have an issue, I maintain several sites that use the same code base and are required to be in separate VirtualHosts. These sites all have "sister" sites (separate code base different functionality) that also operate out of separate VirtuaHosts. I am trying to redirect things from one site to another using mod_rewrite ... however to allow us to maintain things in a consistent state across the sites I would like to be able to set an environment variable for substitution into the rewrite rules in a single include file.
Example: Site "Sister" Site www.a.com foo.a.com www.b.com foo.b.com in VirtaulHost for www.a.com SetEnv SISTER_SITE foo.a.com Include common_rewrites.conf in VirtaulHost for www.b.com SetEnv SISTER_SITE foo.b.com Include common_rewrites.conf Then in common_rewrites.conf RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^/bar$ RewriteRule ^.*$ http://%{ENV:SISTER_SITE}/bar [R=permanent,L] This approach does not seem to work, although the environment variables can be used in the RewriteCond statement they seem to be ignored in the RewriteRule statement. Does anyone have any idea how I can get the functionality I desire? trying to use Redirect with environment variables returns the same as rewrite. Is there and existing external rewrite engine I can use? or is there a better way to get this functionality? -- Nikolai Lusan Systems Administrator Hitwise Pty. Ltd.
