RE: [users@httpd] basic rewrite question concerning redirect : ^$ or ^/$

[PM...@nypl.org]

I think this may be working on the first site since the site is the first
virtualhost (apache's default if there is no match). If you switch them
around, you should then see the other one behave normally. In short, it's
the first one that is actually broke. 

I don't know that I've ever tried it, but how about ^[|/]$ or ^[$|/$]

Again, never tried it...
