Hi, I'm running apache-2.0.52-3.1 on Fedora Core 3.I would like to re-direct http://robinbowes.com/gallery to http://gallery.robinbowes.com, and change the URL in the browser to the new one too.
I'm currently using the following: <Directory "/home/apache/robinbowes.com/geeklog/live/public_html/"> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^/gallery$ http://gallery.robinbowes.com [L,R] </Directory> This does the re-direct, but does not change the URL in my browser.
This is correct. The Rewriteengine is normally used to hide parameters of an cgi script. So it does an internal translation of the URL. http://www.example.com/contact/form.html -> http://www.example.com/index.php?cat=contact&content=form
Am I doing this the right way? How can I get the browser URL to change?
For you problem Redirect is used. This sends an Location Header to the client.
Redirect /gallery/ http://gallery.example.com
Thanks, R.
