Re: Redirect question

[Igor Cicimov <icicimov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another possible solution I can think of:

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
# Virtual host that will collect all the request not hitting
# the main virtual host (including application.example.com one)
# and redirect them to server.example.com/application
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
Redirect permanent / http://server.example.com/application
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost
 1.2.3.4:80>
# Your man virtual host
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs

ServerName server.example.com
.
.
.

</VirtualHost>

What happens if you try

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>

ServerName server.example.com
ServerAlias application.example.com

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^application.example.com$

Redirect permanent / http://server.example.com/application
</VirtualHost>

if Redirect command doesn't work you can try

RewriteRule / http://server.example.com/application [R=301,L]

instead.

Did you remove any other Redirect rules in your VirtualHost container? I
don't see how the above config could possibly cause a redirect like you
are seeing, because once the redirect is made, the browser is no longer
requesting http://application/ (it's requesting
http://server/application). This rewrite only applies when the host name
is "application".

No other redirects in in place.
We are wondering (and, yes, I probably should have mentioned this) if the fact that we are using mod_jk is having an effect.
Basically, this server uses mod_jk to point to 1 of 2 Tomcat5 servers for load balancing. I don't think it should cause a problem since the redirect happens before mod_jk does it's magic but maybe I am wrong in thinking that???

2 VirtualHost containers we have tried:

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>

    ServerName server.example.com
    ServerAlias application.example.com
    Redirect permanent / http://server.example.com/application
</VirtualHost>

And
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>

    ServerName server.example.com
    ServerAlias application.example.com
    RewriteEngine   On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^zemaqa$ [NC]
    RewriteRule . http://wltzemaq01.ldhenergy.net/zema [R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
