[users@httpd] Alias And Redirection question
I am experiencing odd behaviour on our prod box when what i want to
happen works on our dev box.
What we are trying to achieve is to hit the index.html in the root of a
virtual host and have that file redirect the browser to another page - a
jsp - and then after that page it should redirect to a web page in the
root of the virtual host.
The problem we have is that we cant reference the file that we should be
redirected to after the jsp - because the browser makes a request that
is prefixed with the alias to arsys63 (see below).
47.211.64.105 - - [29/Sep/2005:19:27:11 +0100] "POST
/arsys63/servlet/LoginServlet HTTP/1.1" 302 - "
http://enmc-remedy/arsys63/shared/login.jsp?goto=/remedy_main.html"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)"
47.211.64.105 - - [29/Sep/2005:19:27:11 +0100] "GET
/arsys63/remedy_main.html HTTP/1.1" 404 1494 "
http://enmc-remedy/arsys63/shared/login.jsp?goto=/remedy_main.html"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)"
In dev we managed to get around this using relative urls for the goto -
like this:-
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
URL=/arsys63/shared/login.jsp?goto=../../remedy_main.html">
But when we try this on prod we get this in the apache log:-
47.211.64.105 - - [29/Sep/2005:20:58:32 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 304 -
"-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)"
And then nothing further and a Cannot find server in the browser.
Dev is using mod_jk2 and prod mod_jk - and prod is using pre-compiled
xampp install.
The html request isnt being passed to tomcat since its not showing in
the mod_jk logs
I'm sure i must be missing something simple

Sorry, but this problem description is too difficult to parse for me
(and apparently others, given the general lack of response).
Just for example, looking at the following:

This log entry couldn't possibly be returned by the above URL. There
must be other things going on that you haven't explained clearly.
I also don't understand why you need this double-redirect at all. Why
not just redirect to the proper final location.
Joshua.
