Re: [users@httpd] Special configuration for requests that do not
match any particular virtual host? Apache 2.2
Try making the first one _default_ host
<VirtualHost _default_:80>

Per manual excerpted below, the first <VirtualHost> section should only be used when the hostname being requested isn't listed
anywhere else in a ServerName or ServerAlias, right?! So these RewriteCond shouldn't be needed! Right?
I'd use exclusion RewriteCond but since we have other domain names on the server like www.MyPersonalWebsite.com and
www.OurOldCompanyName.com etc we'd have to write rule for each domain. Messy.
Thanks,
Geoff
"Now when a request arrives, the server will first check if it is using an IP address that matches the NameVirtualHost. If it is,
then it will look at each <VirtualHost> section with a matching IP address and try to find one where the ServerName or ServerAlias
matches the requested hostname. If it finds one, then it uses the configuration for that server. If no matching virtual host is
found, then the first listed virtual host that matches the IP address will be used."

Actually on second thought, the rewrite rule in the first host should be
like this to avoid loop:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com
RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Change the order of the hosts since the first one matches first.

Thanks but since we're doing name-based virtual hosting I don't believe that will apply to us because the manual says the _default_
setting only applies to IP virtual hosting but let me know if you have thoughts otherwise!
