You know, I don't know why this didn't work when I first tried it, but I
messed around and used the following entry and everything seems to work:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Redirect permanent / "http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cota";
</VirtualHost>
I don't mind forwarding all port 80 traffic to the new site as all other
traffic on that interim server uses custom ports.
Does anyone see any glaring problems with that? It seems to work ok...
Thanks!

Hi!
I have three servers, all of which are running Apache: F is the failing
server, P is the main production server, and I is the interim server.
Our current site is here on server F (failing server):
http://cota.csulb.edu
That server is failing - I need to get the site off of that server
immediately. I have posted a new version of the site on server P (the
good production server):
http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cota
Everyone has been using "cota.csulb.edu" so I can't just kill off that
DNS name. The normal thing to do would be to update the DNS entry and
point it to server P (production server) and update the VirtualHost
entry on that server - the problem is that it can't be done for another
couple weeks (IT department won't do it right away as it involves
restarting all of the servers and a whole change management process).
So, what I would like to do in the interim is to point the DNS entry to
server I (interim server) which has Apache running on it and just
forward all cota.csulb.edu users straight over to
http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cota - it doesn't even need to keep the
same URL in the address bar - I just need the user transferred over to
the new site location.
This seems like it should be an easy thing to do, but I honestly have no
idea how to do it and I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Mike
