Solprovider and Justin, You both are obsolutely right. I found the problem with my list of Redirect. One of the line have space, as soon as I get rid of the space it worked like you both had said it all along. Thank you so much respond to my email.

What version of httpd are you using? Try: head -n 25 /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vipcorpinuat-yast2_vhost.conf and check the last line. Also try 24 lines. Maybe a line is not terminated properly? Case sensitivity? You can use: Redirect permanent /a.pdf http://example.com/a.pdf OR RedirectPermanent /a.pdf http://example.com/a.pdf You can try the latter as an alternative. Finally, delete the lines and manually type them (no pasting). This seems more an issue with the file than httpd.
