Justin and all It doesn't work for me. I am not quite sure what the problem is. Here is the error again. # apache2ctl restart Syntax error on line 25 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/corp-yast2_vhost.conf: Redirect takes two or three arguments, an optional status, then document to be redirected and destination URL httpd not running, trying to start THIS IS WHAT I HAVE > RewriteEngine on > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK) > RewriteRule .* -[F] > > RedirectMatch Permanent ^/$ http://corp.test.com/Pub/portal/desktop > Redirect Permanent /groupMaterials/MPSERS_plan.pdf http://corp.test.com/Pub/Grials/MPSERS_Plan.pdf > Redirect Permanent /Vis/dvDnal.pdf http://corp.test.com/Pub.pdf > Thanks again.

Yes, I got an error when I try to restart apache. This is what it said. "Syntax error on line 25 of /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vipcorpinuat-yast2_vhost.conf: Redirect takes two or three arguments, an optional status, then document to be redirected and destination URL" I created the redirect list via notepad, cut and paste over to vi editor under Linux console. I though I need something different with the RewriteCond. I will check those line again, but I was sure there are no extra space or control characters.

The directives themselves look fine to me, and I copied them verbatim to my server and it doesn't complain. Perhaps the file itself is corrupted (something like Windows CRLF line endings instead of UNIX LF)? -- Justin Pasher --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
