Re: mod_rewrite question on directory

So just to make sure I have this correct:  the main production server has a couple pages of rewrites for old URLs and home pages that moved servers or changed path.  And changing the baseURL with a Redirect directive in a vhost instead of mod_rewrite will not break any of that?

No, I assure you, ,mod_rewrite is not needed here.

To enforce a canonical hostname, use the Redirect directive and separate
vhost. To have all requests handled by a php routing script, use
FallbackResource /path/to/file.php

Lastly, to redirect to https://, use Redirect from a :80 vhost.
