Poop. It's a simple oversight. Sorry everyone. Tom Evans example works just fine. The example from the original post would have worked with the addition of a *ServerName*. Without the ServerName, the vhost entry matches everything. #This doesn't work <VirtualHost *:80> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined </VirtualHost> #This works great <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName localhost-monkey-whatever-you-want-just-put-something-here RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log combined </VirtualHost> Again my apologies for filling your inboxes. Beer is on me next time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
