Hi , My earlier post has some inconsistencies . I am reposting it properly now. Let me know if there is a wayout. ---------- revised ---------- I require a very unique expression matching with apache . Basically i would be redirecting this way, http://www.abc.domain.com -----> http://www.domain.com/abc/Index.jsp . Let me know the right expression at vhosts.conf.. I am using <VirtualHost *> ServerName abc.domain.com RedirectMatch (.*)\.*$ http://www.domain.com/abc$1 </VirtualHost> The above directive did worked well. But when i add "Index.jsp" to DirectoryIndex the above setting just didn't work. The DirectoryIndex at apache httpd.conf has "Index.html,Index.htm and Index.jsp " ------------------ I have tried this : <VirtualHost *> ServerName abc.domain.com RedirectMatch (.*)\.jsp$ http://www.domain.com/abc$1 </VirtualHost> But its throwing a 404 error at directory "http://domain.com/abc no such file found " Regards..
