Better Apache Redirect?

Post by Steve Bernacki » Fri, 19 Apr 1996 04:00:00



Hey y'all,

I'm running Apache v1.1b on our machine and need to do some minor
redirecting.  What I'd like to do is take a request such as:

        /cgi/steve/foo.pl

and redirect it to:

        /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/steve/foo.pl

which is the correct URL.  Now, I know I could use the 'Redirect' command
but it seems more oriented towards redirecting browsers to other sites
rather than other places on the local system.  I'd like to be able to
essentially change "/cgi/" in any URL passed to me to "/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/"
and THEN have Apache process it.  Is there any way to do this?

ScriptAlias /cgi/ /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/

That did it (I thought ScriptAlias only worked on directories, but I guess
it works on scripts, too!)

Thanks!

1. Better way to do Apache hostname redirects than this?

I work for a company that has over 350 stores. Each store will have
its own URL:

<storenumber>.<mycompany>.com that redirects to a specific URL on our
main web site.

What I am planning to do right now is to add over 350 VirtualHost
entries to the Apache httpd.conf file like this:

<VirtualHost *>      
ServerName 111.mycompany.com
Redirect / http://www.mycompany.com/store.jsp?store=111
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>      
ServerName 222.mycompany.com
Redirect / http://www.mycompany.com/store.jsp?store=222
</VirtualHost>

Is this the most efficient method to do this? Can I use Rewrites?
Since the hostname and redirect URL follow the same pattern, I am
hoping I can do something more dynamic than to manually add an entry
for each store we have - since store numbers do change from time to
time. I thought I read that rewriting might help me with this problem.

Ideas, please! I am no expert. Thank you in advance!
