[users@httpd] Redirect ANY request to one page
Hi all.
I am trying to have apache (2.2.14-1 from Debian) redirect any request to
a certain page. In the server root I have the single file "park.html" and
I want that all requests for resources (documents as well as folders) on
that domain be redirected to that particular page.
To be specific:
* Request: "www.domain.com" -> redirect "www.domain.com/park.html"
* Request: "www.domain.com/otherpage.php" -> "www.domain.com/park.html"
* Request: "www.domain.com/dir1/hello.cgi" -> "www.domain.com/park.html"
ecc..
I currently tried using the following rule: "RedirectMatch permanent
^(.*)$ /park.html" but it doesn't seem to work (results in an infinite
loop).
Since I need the redirect badly, I set up 404s to go to "park.html" but I
think that won't go so well with robots.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
-JK

Hi,
Try using mod_rewrite. This configuration should work...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/park.html$
RewriteRule (.*) /park.html [L, R]
This redirects any request except park.html. Note that if park.html
contains an image, css, or whatever, it's important to also have a
condition to not redirect that image. For example, let's say park.html
references an image called logo.gif in a folder called 'images', you
could use:-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/park.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/logo.gif$
RewriteRule (.*) /park.html [L, R]
Cheers,
Phil.

I would imagine that is because park.html is trying to redirect to
itself. You should have a rule before this to check if the page is
park.html, then stop processing.
