[users@httpd] Issue on Redirection in Apache

[ay...@wipro.com]

Hi,

My apache is successfully configured with invoking http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs website



My redirection case :

1) Whenever the URL:  http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/ is invoked (After '/cs/' there would be nothing) it would be changed to http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet



i.e. http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs changes to http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet





2) But whetever the same URL is invoked with something after '/cs/' it would remain same.

i.e. http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/index.html changes to http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/index.html



For this i have done the follwoing configuration in httpd.conf but it does not work.Please help.

RewriteRule http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet [R]

So, there's a couple of problems with this.

1) The first argument to RewriteRule is a regular expression - so, a 
substring match, not a complete string equality.
2) The first argument to RewriteRule matches the URI starting after the 
hostname

So you want something more like:

RewriteRule ^/cs/?$ 
http://192.168.17.165:7777/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=HOME_PAGE&Auth=Internet 
[R,L]

That should do it.

^/cs/?$ means "starts with /cs, with optionally a slash after that, and 
then ends ($ indicates the end of a string match)
