Re: apache redirection does not work

[Sharjeel Tariq <sharjeel.tariq1@xxxxxxxxx>]

The issue with creating ServerAlias is we get two analytics reports for each of our site. There are many benefits associated with redirecting non 'www' urls to 'www' urls. 

I tried using following configuration in httpd.conf as per Bob recommendation.


Rewritelog logs/rewrite_log
Rewriteloglevel 6


It created file rewrite_log but  did not write any thing in the log file. I have also tried using QSA flag to the rule but that didn't work either.


Thanks,
Sharjeel

Sharjeel,

I know it's not what you are asking for, but may accomplish your task.

You can try adding a ServerAlias to the VirtualHost:

ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com

Here is the documentation at apache site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#serveralias


Sorry if it's not what you are asking for, but it's pretty much waht I'd
do. With a simple script you can manage to add the ServerAlias to all
the VirtualHosts.


Cheers,

Martin
