[users@httpd] Apache RedirectMatch or Virtual Host Help Needed
I am completely stumped on how to solve a particular problem on Apache
2.2.
I have a virtual host for all variations of uiuc.edu for the campus web
server redirecting to "Illinois.edu". It works great. Below is some of
the virtual host info I am using.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName uiuc.edu
ServerAlias www.uiuc.edu www.uiuc.net uiuc.net www.uiuc.org uiuc.org
campus.webtools.uiuc.edu
RedirectMatch (/(.*))?$ http://illinois.edu/$2
</VirtualHost>
I then copied the above and modified it so that I could redirect all
content going to www.illinois.edu <http://www.illinois.edu/> and
redirect it to illinois.edu. This is where the problem resides. When a
user goes to http://www.illinois.edu/index.html they will be redirected
to http://illinois.edu <http://illinois.edu/> /index.html. Great! But
none of the JavaScript includes on the index web page that start with
www.illinois.edu <http://www.illinois.edu/> will render. If the
JavaScript include starts with either uiuc.edu or illinois.edu then they
render fine.
My virtual host for www.illinois.edu looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.illinois.edu
ServerAlias www.illinois.edu
RedirectMatch (/(.*))?$ http://illinois.edu/$2
</VirtualHost>
Any thoughts on how I can resolve this issue?
In order to get this to currently work, I put www.illinois.edu
<http://www.illinois.edu/> in the Server Alias section in the
Illinois.edu virtual host. Now if someone comes to the home page with
www.illinois.edu <http://www.illinois.edu/> they stay within that
domain. Ideally I would like to redirect them to Illinois.edu.

The solution is:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^illinois\.edu [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://illinois.edu/$1 [L,R=301]
I pieced this solution together from a couple of different examples that
solved unrelated problems.

Actually we have confirmed that the redirect of content works in all
browsers for HTML content. But for redirecting of JavaScript only IE7
seems to have an issue. It won't display the .js files.

Are the Javascript files that are included loaded by the browser? Are
they present where the browser expects them? Have a look in the log of
your webserver. I can also suggest using the excellent "Firebug" add
on for Firefox, which can show you a lot of what happens when you load
a page.
