[users@httpd] apache redirection does not work
Hi,
I am trying to set up apache redirection rule for redirecting all of our non
'www' domains to 'www' domains. I got the redirection rule from apache
manual
but the rule does not work when we have subdirectories and parameters at the
end of url.
The redirection rule i have is
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]
The above rule works for all urls except when I have urls like
http://example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090624_075115_6540
Instead of redirecting the above url to
http://www.example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090624_075115_6540
It is redirecting it to home page of site with
"?content=20090624_075115_6540" at the end
http://www.example.com/index.jsp?content=20090624_075115_6540
I need a generic redirection rule to redirection all non 'www' urls to 'www'
urls. I have to apply this rule on almost 50 web sites.
Thanks,

And it can't be captured by a RewriteLog? Is it some other
rewrite/redirect occuring?

the redirection rule is written in a separate file under <VirtualHost *>.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]
The issue was that above rule works for all urls except for urls like
http://example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090624_075115_6540
the rule redirects the above url to home page of site
http://www.example.com/index.jsp?content=20090624_075115_6540
Thanks,
Sharjeel.

Did you paste the right snippet? That's a pretty elaborate regex, and
doesn't redirect at all but proxies.

rewriteEngine is on. Here is the rule in Virtual Host.
<VirtualHost *>
Servername www.example.com
DocumentRoot /www/www_example_com/
CustomLog /var/log/apache/www_example_com_access.log
combined env=!disable_logging
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/www_example_com_error.log
include conf/shared/blockWebInf.inc
CookieDomain .example.com
WLCookieName visunique
CookieTracking on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.jsp.*$|.*\/$|$)
http://localhost:6201/www_example_com/$1 [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:6201/www_example_com
</VirtualHost>
Can I say this is a bug in apache as I got this redirction rule from apache
manual to redirect all non 'www' requests to 'www' requests but it seems as
apache is not handling the urls with parameter at the end?

no RewriteEngine on, htaccess not being read (allowoverride?), or
rules in a <virtualHost> that isn't actually handling the request?

The issue with creating ServerAlias is we get two analytics reports for each
of our site. There are many benefits associated with redirecting non 'www'
urls to 'www' urls.
I tried using following configuration in httpd.conf as per Bob
recommendation.
Rewritelog logs/rewrite_log
Rewriteloglevel 6
It created file rewrite_log but did not write any thing in the log file. I
have also tried using QSA flag to the rule but that didn't work either.
Thanks,
Sharjeel

Sharjeel,
I know it's not what you are asking for, but may accomplish your task.
You can try adding a ServerAlias to the VirtualHost:
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
Here is the documentation at apache site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#serveralias
Sorry if it's not what you are asking for, but it's pretty much waht I'd
do. With a simple script you can manage to add the ServerAlias to all
the VirtualHosts.
Cheers,
Martin

Try adding QSA to the flags at the end of the redirect. (Query-String All)

Please enable a RewriteLog with
Rewritelog logs/rewrite_log
Rewriteloglevel 6
in your httpd.conf and post the result (may be as an attachment).
