[users@httpd] Keywords and apache
Can anyone point me to the best directive to use for keyword redirection.
What we're looking to do is allow visitors to our site to type in say
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword and have them be redirected to
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/ and then let Apache pick up the default
file index.htm so that it results in the visitor be sent to
http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm. Another example would be
redirecting http://www.mdomain.com/keyword to
http://www.mydomain.com/department/services/keyword/index.htm
I tried the redirect directive but can't seem to get it to work. Here's
what I tried:
Redirect permanent /pw http://www.cob.org/pw/
Any help appreciated...I'll be sure to pay it forward.
Thanks.

As far as I know, apache does not do trailing-slash redirects unless
mod_dir is present.

I doubt that. It probably shows http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/
(note the trailing slash). This is usually what is desired. The
index.htm is considered an implimentation detail that is better hidden
from the client. If you really want this, then redirect directly to
it:
Redirect permanent /keyword http://www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm

Joshua,
Sorry for late question.
I thought mod_dir will append this trailing-slash but
seems Apache core can also do it. what is the
relation of mod_dir and Apache core for this
trailing-slash redirect handling?
Thx, Q.Xie

It appears to be serving up the correct page, but the full URL isn't
showing. I tried adding the "UseCanonicalName off" and it didn't appear to
affect anything.
So when I type in www.mydomain.com/keyword the browser delivers
www.mydomain.com/keyword/index.htm, however, the address bar in the browser
only shows www.mydomain.com/keyword
When I type in www.mydomain.com the browser delivers
www.mydomain.com/index.htm and the address bar in the browser shows
www.mydomain.com/index.htm (this is what I'm trying to accomplish with the
keywords).
I made sure the dir module is loaded as well.
Here's what the access log shows when I try to pull up
www.mydomain.com/keyword
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [19/Sep/2006:16:43:20 -0700] "GET /keyword HTTP/1.1"
200 6942 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4)
Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4"
Based on your comment about the trailing slash. I found documentation
pointing to the need to have the following directive:
DirectorySlash On
I added this and it didn't appear to fix this issue either, although it
sounded like it was supposed to address it.
My DirectoryIndex is set as follows:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm default.html
</IfModule>

This is called a trailing-slash redirect, and should happen
automatically if you have "UseCanonicalName off". Then the index.html
should be delivered automatically if DirectoryIndex is set correctly.
If that isn't working, tell us exactly what is happening including the
contents of the error and access logs for the request.
For the second example, you need something like
Redirect permanent /keyword
http://www.mydomain.com/department/services/keyword/
