Hello, We're running Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL 4. After moving a site to a new Apache server that has a new file structure, we did redirect for a customer to keep their old URL working. The redirection http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup => http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup works fine. They can still see their site using the old URL http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup. However the customer came back complaining about the long URL http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup. What they want is show their site but without changing URL caused by redirection. I call it transparent redirect. Is that even possible? If yes, how? I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas or pointers.
Start here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/urlmapping.html What you want is probably a simple Alias. But note that it is best not to have two permanent URLs mapping to the same place. So you should make one URL or the other be a Redirect.
