Hi Blake, worth a shot, try this. I used to do my redirects like this but don't
use Apache anymore but this worked perfect for me.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias *.abc.com
ServerAdmin m...@xyz.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://def.com/ghi/#about [END,QSA,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
or
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias *.abc.com
ServerAdmin m...@xyz.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://def.com%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
Kind Regards

Subject: [users@httpd] Problem with Redirect
Hello,
I am using Apache 2.4.18 on a 64 bit Linux box. I am serving several different
URL's via VirtualHost. All is working well except a single, unique case. In
the case with the problem, I am attempting to redirect a URL to an external
URL. All the cases that work, I am hosting the site, but not in this one case.
Naturally, I own the domain name. The DNS points to my server, but I want it
redirected to a site I pay for but isn't hosted by my machine. Under
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled, I have:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName abc.com
ServerAlias *.abc.com
ServerAdmin m...@xyz.com
Redirect / https://www.def.com/ghi#about
</VirtualHost>
Let's say the main URL for my machine is jkl.com. Now, when I go to abc.com it
ends up at jkl.com !!
Whenever I change the apache2 settings, I do: apache2ctl restart
When, through my browser, I go to abc.com, I see the following under
/var/log/other_vhosts_access.log:
jkl.com:80 174.195.128.13 - - [08/Jul/2017:13:31:07 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200
2846 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36"
How the heck is access to abc.com showing as jkl.com? How can I make abc.com
redirect to the external server at URL https://www.def.com/ghi#about ?
Thanks so much for help!
