[users@httpd] Redirect Help Please
Okay, I've read the docs and I'm still having trouble.
Given my docroot:
/somepath/htdocs
I want to redirect any requests to www.mydomain.com index page to
/somepath/docs/temp while I build the site.
I'm building a site under the url build.mydomain.com which is pointing to
the docroot. Now, it's a shopping cart that works just fine under that url,
but when it comes time to go SSL, it needs to read from
https://www.mydomain.com, because of the ssl certificate. The ssl path
shares the same docroot.
Here's what I've tried but that doesn't work. It still manages to find the
index page of the site I'm building.
RedirectTemp http://www.mydomain.com/ http://www.mydomain.com/temp/
Any help is appreciated. I hope the request makes sense. :-)
TIA,
Steve

The first argument to Redirect* is a local-web-path, not a URL. For
example:
RedirectTemp / http://www.mydomain.com/temp/
But it seems like you wouldn't want the default Redirect behavior, which
is to do sub-string matching ("/" matches anything beginning in "/"). So
probably what you want is
RedirectMatch temp ^/$ http://www.mydomain.com/temp/
which hits only requests for the homepage.
If you want to restrict this to only a particular source-hostname, then
you need to place it within an appropirate <VirtualHost> section.
