[users@httpd] Redirects in .htaccess or virtual hosts
Hi,
I have a redirect question. In the .htaccess file we use on one of our
servers we want about 400 redirects of the form
Redirect /anyplace/anyfile /anotherplace/anotherfile
And this for about 20 virtual hosts ( so 20 .htaccess files)
I have searched everywhere, but apache requires this form
Redirect /anyplace/anyfile http://qualified-url/someplace/somefile
And this is rather a maintenance-problem. All the .htaccess-files need
different qualified-url in the redirected link and if you change things in
one you just can not copy the changed .htaccess but have to change all the
files manually.
Does anybody know an easy work-around or genius solution for this?
Tnx

You can use an explicit [R] flag to force an external redirect on a
relative url-path, or you can explicitly use the %{SERVER_NAME}
variable in the target.

In reply to the answers before:
I have about 20 virtual hosts and the redirects are not the virtual hosts
themselves but some 400 redirected files / locations which can change very
often:
Like this:
http:/url/thislocation to http:/url/thatlocation
and that for url1 to url20
In addition to the remark of the second answer, mod_rewrite does the rewrite
of the path to a url dynamically, how?? That would be the answer to the
question!!
Let's see it and I believe you immediately :-)

mod_rewrite can set this dynamically.
And I believe that the newest versions of apache will allow a
non-fully-qualified url, but I can't remember for sure.

Maybe I don't understand what you are saying, but I don't understand
why you need redirects for virtual hosts. Why don't you just make
the virtual host document root point right to where you want it in
the first place?
