redirecting urls
Hi there
Ive apache installed on a suse linux 7.2 box, and im about to declare the
web server live this week. One problem i have though is in the url
redirection . In the example below, j.burns directory no longer exists and
is now held in the direcotry john ( ie the public_html direcotry of the user
johnny). The directory johnny exists and the destination url exists. However
if I try the redirect, I get no erroe after restarting. If I try to access
j.burns it cant find it, and theses no error in the error log. Is there
anything else I need to do for the redirection to be enabled
Thanks

# clients where to look for the relocated document.
# Format: Redirect old-URI new-URL

Redirect http://server2/~j.burns http://server2/~johnny

You're not using "Redirect" correctly. The first argument is supposed to
be a decoded URL-path, i.e. the file that your server gets after it
decodes the URL. The second argument is a full URL. So, you should put:
Redirect /~j.burns http://server2/~johnny
