Re: Error page server in Apache ?

[Daniel <dferradal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, definetly.

there is a variable called %{HTTP_HOST} which will be the hostname in the request.

And you can use that variable for example in mod_rewrite, and mod_rewrite can perfectly point to local filesystem paths too.

Hi All,

 We currently have an old legacy Java application running under Sun Webservers that does the following.  It's purpose is to display an error message if a particular webserver is down.   The request is forwarded to the application from the load balancer when the load balancer detects the webserver is down.

1) Receives a request

2) Looks at the request URL (i.e. app1.domain.com, app2.domain.com, app3.domain.com )

3) Display a file from a directory based on the URL, i.e. /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/error/app1.domain.com/site_down.html

Is it possible to implement the above in Apache 2.4 using rewrite rules ?

Thanks,

-Joe
