[users@httpd] Global Vhost/Redirect
hey folks.
I have various virtual hosts set up on apache, and currently, the first
<VirtualHost> handles all unreferenced domains. I'm looking at
implementing something to catch any unreferenced domains and actually
shoot a rewrite at them to point them to my actual main URI.
Is this possible, and what would be the best/most efficient way to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Scott.

Ha, nevermind. Again, i'm a retard.
All I needed to do was add a condition to the rewrite.
Thanks again Joshua.

I don't understand the question on several levels. Do you or don't you
want a request for http://your.ip.address/ redirected to
http://your.canonical.name/? If so, then it should happen
automatically with that recipe. If not, then you need to add a
specific RewriteCond excluding the ip address from being redirected.

I took the mod_rewrite approach, and it works flawlessly. One question I
have, is that I often access the server via its IP instead of the
canonical name. Is there a way to make apache use both domain.tld and
its IP as the server name?
I've tried it with ServerAlias and it didn't make any difference, the
only way I see of doing this would be duplicating the VirtualHost thats
doing the redirecting and using the IP of the box as the server name.
I'm pretty sure thats not a good idea though :p

Did you read the link I sent? That is exactly what it does.
As it says, the first <VirtualHost> is the default host which catches
all names that don't match any other virtualhost. Put a Redirect in
that host pointing to your "canonical" vhost (the "correct URI"),
which should be contained in a separate <VirtualHost> section.

Hey Joshua,
I think I was a little ambiguous with what I said. It probably would of
been better to explain it like this.
If a VirtualHost is there for the requested URI, that is served.
For any requested URI (http://test1.com, http://sub.domain.com,
http://anything.anythingelse.anywhere.tld), then that request is
actually forwarded to the main site.
At the moment, my first VirtualHost is catching everything and
displaying the standard homepage fine, but i'd much prefer if they were
pushed over to the correct URI.
Scott.

The sub.domain.com virtual host goes first and catches all non-matched
names. The domain.com vhost goes last and does not contain a Redirect.

Is there a method to say:
Requested URI:
http://domain.com Does nothing
http://sub.domain.com Redirects to http://domain.com
It seems to me, if I used the Redirect Perm, it'd just loop around
itself, no?

In your catchall vhost (first one), just have a:
Redirect permanent / http://main.uri.com
