[SOLVED] rewrite rule for apache

linux_kung_fu · 07-04-2012, 09:40 AM

What if I need to 301 redirect (www.)example.com to a specific URL? I know below should work, but I can't seem to get it to work in one stanza instead of two, what am I missing here?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/section$ http://foobar.example.com/blargh [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/section$ http://foobar.example.com/blargh [R=301,L]

thanks!

Hi there,

Are you saying the above is not working, or that it does work, but you want to rewrite it in one stanza?

To just combine the 2 rules, the following should work:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/section$ http://foobar.example.com/blargh [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

In what context is this used - VirtualHost, Directory; in a .conf file, or in a .htaccess file?

Where does /section fit into your requirement?

Hello,

This should be good. Just wanted one stanza instead of two. Anything that goes to http://example.com/section or http://www.example.com/section 301 redirects to http://foobar.example.com/blargh

This is inside a vhost config for apache primarily. Thanks again.
