-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a server with multiple hosts names on one IP address. I have figured out from all the searches I made that I can do rewrite the other hosts names to "correct" the address to "www".
ServerName www.example.com:80 ServerName a.example.com:80 ServerName b.example.com:80 ServerName c.example.com:80 RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R] My question is all the examples I have seen are within a "Virtual Host" directive. I don't see any problem with making it global as I only have one IP address to worry about. My stupid question is: Why "Virtual Host"? Is there some sort of security issue with having the "RewriteEngine on" in the master file? I would appreciate someone giving me an answer either way. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGOiulhs7JGk93PT0RAlNfAJ9YvhE3v0xiHCgMX01QMJvfYBgwZgCdEOSJ PJWo+MRbkPZtHvjW9t8JbkY= =bxrQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
