Re: Redirection from DocumentRoot

[Petr Hracek <phracek2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried your proposal but it returns during the restarting of apache2.2:
Redirect to non-URL.

Unfortunatelly I do not know the name of the server, respectively URL is always based on the IP address on the machine. E.g. http://<IP_address>/....

Hello *,

sorry for bother you with this (may be simple) question but I have
following problem.
Let's say that my document root is situated to the /usr/apache/htdocs/

Is it possible to configure apache so that after accessing to the
DocumentRoot page there
will be done automatic redirection to the /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall
so that in URL will be seen
e.g. http://<ipadress/testInstall/?

thank you in advance

best regards
Petr

You can have a host (or vhost) with only 1 docroot. You can create a symlink to /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall in /usr/apache/htdocs -

ln -svt /usr/apache/htdocs /opt/apache/htdocs/testInstall

Then configure apache like this -

       <Directory /usr/apache/htdocs>
               
               Options +FollowSymLinks
       
       </Directory>

       RedirectPermanent / /testInstall
