Hi-
I am using mod_rewrite to redirect from a sub-directory of my existing
domain to a new domain just for this section.
Here is my .htaccess file in /othersite/ (specific domains and paths
hidden):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /othersite/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://<myotherwebsite>.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
When I go to <mycurrentwebsite>.com/othersite/ (or any file within this
directory) it redirects perfectly fine. The strange part is when I go to
<mycurrentwebsite>.com/othersite (with no trailing slash), I get redirected
to <myotherwebsite>.com//var/www/<mycurrentsite>.com/web/othersite/. Apache
for some reason replaces the $1 with the local path, which is a major
security issue. I would rather not have my server paths revealed in this
way.
I couldn't figure out how to fix this issue, so as a temporary "hacked"
solution by forcing a redirect from "/var/www..." to "/" using mod_rewrite.
This is a very poor work around since my path is still being revealed behind
the scenes.
All my Google searches have turned up empty. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running Apache Version 2.0.52 on CentOS 4.6
Thanks!
