[users@httpd] Help with redirect/rewrite

[Timothy Arnold <ti...@becta.org.uk>]

Hi Everyone,

I have been struggling with the Apache rewrite/redirect rules within Apache 1.3.x.

Our website uses aliases like: 

http://testdomain/fpp - this redirects to http://testdomain/display.cfm?blah

So I set-up a redirect and that works fine, however I would like to use redirects for 

http://testdomain/fpp/ which does exactly the same thing. The problem is, /fpp is not a directory

It is similar to how the apache site works when you put:

http://www.apache.org/httpd  & http://www.apache.org/httpd/ they both redirect to http://httpd.apache.org


I would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks.
Tim.

I'd say you need to include the trailing slash in your Redirect 
directive, for example

Redirect http://testdomain/fpp/ http://testdomain/display.cfm?blah

Otherwise use RedirectMatch ..
