[users@httpd] redirecting domain.com to www.domain.com
What's the easiest (and/or best) way to go about
redirecting all requests for domain.com to
www.domain.com? The only way I can think of is to set
up separate VirtualHost's for each, and put a
"Redirect xxx / http://www.domain.com" in the one for
domain.com. Anything easier (I have quite a few
virtualhosts)?
Thanks,
John

Server alias takes care of that (at least in virtual hosts). Here is
one of the virtual hosts directive in my httpd.conf file:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.k6ccc.org
ServerAlias k6ccc.org *.k6ccc.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/k6ccc.org"
</VirtualHost>
The server is actually named www.k6ccc.org (defined in the second line),
but the third line specifies that k6ccc.org or anything.k6ccc.org will
work as an alias. To verify that this worked, I typed the following
into my browser: http://fnamfa.k6ccc.org/ and got my web site.

Depending on your requirements, you could do this by defining a single dummy
virtual host as the first one, which then redirects. Eg:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName dummy
Redirect / http://www.domain.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.domain.com
...
</VirtualHost>
...
All requests that cannot be matched to a more specific VH, will go to the
first one as default, and there get redirected to the www.domain.com VH.
However, it will not be possible control which hosts this redirect is
performed for, and you can only have one catch-all VH in an Apache
installation so you cannot use that feature for something else.

Assuming DNS points to the same IP address for both,
add ServerAlias to the virtual container.
