[users@httpd] need help w/Apache redirect
This *should* be simple, but is not working for us.
We are using Apache 1.3.27.
We are trying to redirect requests to a particualr host name (an alias) to
the real host name and a specific URL. For example, if
http://specific-app.berkeley.edu is requested, we need it to be
redirected
to http://hostname.berkeley.edu/specific-context/index.jsp
We have tried the following in httpd.conf and no joy (with and w/o
'index.jsp')
<VirtualHost specific-app.berkeley.edu>
RedirectMatch /$
http://hostname.berkeley.edu/specific-context/index.jsp
Redirect /index.jsp
http://hostname.berkeley.edu/specific-context/index.jsp
Redirect /index.html
http://hostname.berkeley.edu/specific-context/index.jsp
</VirtualHost>
Thanks,
Robert

How does your NameVirtualHost look like? If it's NameVirtualHost *:80,
your VirtualHost line should also be '<VirtualHost *:80>', and inside it
you should use ServerName.

Your virtual host config does not follow the docs. Try starting here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#canonical-hostnames
and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html

Isn't this better handled by setting this VirtualHost's DocumentRoot
to <path-to-specific-content> and DirectoryIndex to 'index.jsp'? Then
you don't buy the extra overhead of a redirect.
