Hi All.

I am in the process of attempting to migrate from Apache 1.3 to 2.0 (well,
actually IBM Http Server that comes with WebSphere 5.1 to 6.1).

I have this currently working in the existing 1.3 installation:

NameVirtualHost firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80

<VirtualHost firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80>
    ServerName     firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80

    ErrorLog       logs/firedragon/firedragon_error.log

</VirtualHost>


The redirect is in place so that if anyone comes in on
http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au they get redirected to
http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au/firedragon/ which is the root of the
webapp.

All of this is working perfectly as expected under 1.3.

However, under 2.0(.47) when I have the Redirect in place, it loops:

http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au/firedragon/firedragon/... ad infinitum.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to solve this? It's got me stumped.


You probably need to use mod_rewrite instead of the simple "Redirect".

And you will need a "RewriteCond" that will say to NOT redirect in case the URL already starts with /firedragon. Unfortunately, I don't know this stuff well enough to be sure, but you could try :

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/firedragon
   RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /firedragon/$1 [L]

You may want to read here for more details :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/
(or the equivalent in 2.0 docs, but I don't think it has much changed).

Now about your configuration above :
I do not remember how it was in 1.3, but in Apache 2.x the usual way of using the following directives is :

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName   firedragon.warpspeed.com.au
...
</VirtualHost>

unless you have specific reasons to limit this VirtualHost to a specific server IP address and/or port.
The arguments to the NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost must match exactly.
For example, if you wanted to limit this only to requests on port 80, (but all interfaces) you would use:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
..
