[users@httpd] ServerAlias and redirecting, please help
Hi there,
I searched for a while but couldn't point out what is the right way to
do the following:
We have the following virtualhost configuration:
...
ServerName www.site.ru
DocumentRoot /home/www/ru.site.www
ServerAlias xx.site.com
...
What I need is to redirect from http://xx.site.com to the
http://www.site.ru/some/location
I tried RedirectPermanent but it seems to work only for locations
relative to the virtualhost root.
RewriteRule also had no effect.
What is the correct way to configure apache so it will redirect from
xx.site.com to http://www.site.ru/some/location ?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry

Ok, I tried your method and it worked fine for me! I don't think that
I need to spend much time debugging rewriterules so I will stay with
it.
Thanks in advance!

No, that's not true. As I said, if you want to debug mod_rewite you
need to use the RewriteLog. It could also simply be a question of not
putting the directives in the right place. They should be placed
inside the <VirtualHost> where you want them to have an effect.

I mean that at this reference
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/CanonicalHostNames
there are two techniques for canonicalizing urls. You chose to use the
second one rather than the first one, which I find simpler.
To use <VirtualHost>s, you simply setup a separate <VirtualHost>
section (with appropriate ServerName) for each hostname that you wish
to treat differently. The VirtualHost for xx.site.com would contain
nothing other than a ServerName and a Redirect pointing to the
appropriate location on www.site.ru.

Yes, that was my mistake. Anyway, without that line it didn't work too :(
It seems that apache doesn't read RewriteRule directive after it had
read ServerAlias one..
What do you mean "the technique of having two <VirtualHost>s"?
We do have 2 virtualhosts: one for www.site.com and one for www.site.ru
Do you suppose putting redirect directive into the www.site.com one or what?
And what to do with ServerAlias then?

Well, I think the technique of having two <VirtualHost>s is clearer,
but anyway...

Delete the second RewriteCond. Those conditions must all be met for
the RewriteRule to be applied, and obviously the Host can't be
simultaneously xx.site.com and empty.
Also, use the RewriteLog to debug problems with mod_rewrite.

I tried the following directives to force redirect:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xx\.site\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.site.ru/some/location/$1 [L,R=301]
But still no success; it opens the index page of the
http://www.site.ru when typing 'xx.site.com' but url doesn't change in
the browser and index page is opened instead of
http://www.site.ru/some/location
It seems that ServerAlias directive overrides RewriteRule one, because
the server response to xx.site.com is 302 Moved Temporarily instead of
supposed 301 written in the RewriteRule. Does this mean that I need to
remove xx.site.com from ServerAlias directive and if so what will be
the correct configuration?
Thanks,
Dmitry
