Hi, Justin The request is when people type the URL www.survey.juicycouture.com with or without trailing tellus, the client request needs to be redirected to the site survery.juicycouture.com/tellus which is hosted by an outside ISP. I host the URL www.survey.juicycouture.com and www.survey.juicycouture.com/tellus through Apache reverse proxy server. I will test your suggestion. Thanks.

Now I found that my Apache 2.2.15 stopped working. It behaves the same way as Apache 2.2.14. > As a test, I switched the order on Apache 2.2.15 for these two virtual host statements: > > <VirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80> > .... > </VitualHost> > .... > > <VirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80> > ServerName www.survey.juicycouture.com > Redirect / http://survey.juicycouture.com/tellus > </VirtualHost> > > <VirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80> > ServerName www.survey.juicycouture.com > Redirect /tellus http://survey.juicycouture.com/tellus > </VirtualHost> > You have two VirtualHost containers with the exact same settings (same IP:port and same ServerName). There's no way for Apache to distinguish between the two (it can only do so based upon the IP:port or ServerName). What are you expecting to happen when someone visits a URL that is NOT http://www.survey.juicycouture.com or http://www.survey.juicycouture.com/tellus? Where should it go? Depending on the answer to this, why not just create one VirtualHost with a simple RewriteRule to push all requests to the new URL? RewriteEngine on RewriteRule . http://survey.juicycouture.com/tellus Otherwise, just handle the two special cases RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/$ http://survey.juicycouture.com/tellus RewriteRule ^/tellus$ http://survey.juicycouture.com/tellus -- Justin Pasher --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
