It takes you to the "root" site. So, where does your redirect go (in which file)? I am entering into the vhost.conf file. OK, so what i did was use your Redirect /webmailprog http://oursecondsrvr.ourdomain.com:8080 under their web virtualhost and it now works. Notice i was trying to accomplish a different syntax of address: http://webmail.some-domain.tld to redirect to http://webmail.some-domain.tld:8080. This did not work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
