[users@httpd] Domain redirect with browser location change
Hi there!
I'm having an issue with our apache config. Like any business, we
registered multiple domains. In particular, we renamed our company
recently and registered a new domain to match the new company name. Now,
what we want is for all visitors to our web site to be sent to our current
home page instead of whatever location they typed in their browser.
For instance... our main address that we want everyone to use is:
http://www.safehorizon.org
But, we used to be called Victim Services. So, we still get a lot of
people going to:
http://www.victimservices.org
But, that site no longer exists and the new site is entirely different.
So, no URL with the victimservices.org domain is valid. Hence, we want any
visitor to www.victimservices.org to be redirected to
http://www.safehorizon.org.
This could be accomplished with a simple ServerAlias, but we want our
visitors to remember our new name, so we want the location in their browser
to be changed to http://www.safehorizon.org.
So, what I need to know is how can we configure Apache to:
1) accept requests to safehorizon.org, and respond with the appropriate
page (i.e. a link to http://safehorizon.org/mypage.html would result in the
browser being sent to http://safehorizon.org/mypage.html, the exact same
page).
2) accept requests to www.safehorizon.org, and respond with the appropriate
page (i.e. a link to http://www.safehorizon.org/mypage.html would result in
the browser being sent to http://www.safehorizon.org/mypage.html, the exact
same page).
3) accept any other domain (like victimservices.org), but redirect the
browser to http://www.safehorizon.org/ (our home page) with the location
displayed in the browser being changed as well.
Is this possible? It seems like a common enough issue, but I can't find any
documentation that specifies this particular scenario and I'm not enough of
an Apache expert to come up with it on my own.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Since no one responded, just wondering if someone knows where I could
find out about this question?

[users@httpd] Dynamic Modules, Shared Objects.
Posted by Craig Harding <ch...@mun.ca>.
I have a question about upgrading packages that have dependencies and
perhaps this deals with Dynamic Libs. etc...
If I compile mod_ssl DSO (--enable-mods-shared=all --enable-so
--enable-ssl) with apache and then the next day an exploit comes out and
OpenSSL updates their source. Do I have to update OpenSSL, recompile
mod_ssl and install it into the modules directory (and then perhaps
reconfigure apache?)
I know that Apache2 has mod_ssl built in, but would the same procedure
be followed with Apache2 as well?
thanks,
Craig.
