Hi Darren,
I don't know your specific configuration but an ideal part of configuration can be this:
 
    DocumentRoot /www/docs/wifi-tc/

    Alias /perl /var/www/perl
    Alias /success.html /www/docs/wifi-tc/library/test/success.html

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/perl/.*$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/success\.html$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.html [R=301,L]

I think that mod_rewrite move all the pages not specified or matched with the previous Alias lines.

Ciao Marcello

No I haven't 

I'm coming back to Apache after a very long absence and starting from scratch so I'd be happy to get guidance on better ways to achieve the results I need

I don't want to change the URL if possible but results are what counts :)

Hi Darren,
You can try to implement it with rewrite rules or rewrite map.

Did you already try with mod_rewrite?

Subject: RE:  Rewrite all to DocRoot

Hi Guys

I'm still struggling with the AliasMatch

I need to redirect everything that doesn't match a couple of specific requests to the root index.html of the virtual server but I can't find any examples on using conditional statements

For example I have:

   AliasMatch /perl/(.*)$ /var/www/perl/$1
   AliasMatch /success.html$ /www/docs/wifi-tc/library/test/success.html
   AliasMatch ^(.*)$ /www/docs/wifi-tc/index.html

So that the first rule would use a central perl directory but keep the script name from the original request

Second rule is to redirect and Apple device attempting to perform captive portal detection to a success page so the device will bring up a normal browser

The final one is to redirect everything  _esle_ to the index.html file specified

Problem is I think it will also hit matches to the first two rules as it flows through or will it hot a match and stop processing?

On each of these virtual hosts I want a request for any URI to be sent to the document root default (/index.html or just /)

What the best way to do this per virtual host?

I usually use:

AliasMatch ^(.*)$ /fspath/to/index.html
