Very Computer

The server is not on the Internet yet, so I am configuring it on a
private IP network.  What I want is a rule in httpd.conf that
redirects a request to www.college-skin.apostrophe to
www.collegeskin.apostrophe unconditionally. (the word apostrophe will
be replaced with com when the machine is moved).

Anyway, the second VirtualHost directive doesn't do the trick.  Any
ideas?

<VirtualHost 10.7.7.11>
        ServerName www.collegeskin.apostrophe

        DocumentRoot /websites/collegeskin.com
        ErrorLog /weblogs/collegeskin.com/error_log
        TransferLog /weblogs/collegeskin.com/access.log
</virtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.7.7.11>
       ServerName www.college-skin.apostrophe
       ServerAlias www.collegeskin.apostrophe
       Rewri*gine On
       RewriteRule www.collegeskin.apostrophe - [R]
</virtualHost>

You also have a ServerAlias for the second that matches the first.  You
can't have two different name-based servers with the same name, of
course.

Do you really want to redirect or just allow both to be served by the
same virtual host?  If the second, then you don't need two different
virtual host setups.  Just use ServerAlias.

Thanks.  That only redirected /, but I found RedirectMatch and I think
I got the regexp right.

The domain names work fine as they are (they are in the /etc/hosts file).

' You didn't post your NaveVirtualHost directive.

I don't know that directive.  I have this directive:

NameVirtualHost 10.7.7.11

' You also have a ServerAlias for the second that matches the first.  You
' can't have two different name-based servers with the same name, of

I'm aware.  Perhaps you can elucidate on ServerALias.  I thought I was
following the example in ``Professional Apache'' correctly.
Apparantly not.

' Do you really want to redirect or just allow both to be served by the

' virtual host setups.  Just use ServerAlias.

I really want to redirect.  As in send the client a 302 with a
Location header.

' Why not just redirect the page with javascript instead of messing with

' Try this.
'
' <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
' <!-- Begin
' window.location="http://www.your-web-site-address-here.com/javascript-pa
' ge.html";
' // End -->
' </script>

Because I don't want to rely on the client having JavaScript enabled.
I want the server to send a 302 with Location: header.

I also don't want to set up a directory for the domain that gets
redirected.

Ok, basically

' Ok, basically
' > NameVirtualHost 10.7.7.11
' says any connection on that IP are assumed to be name-based virtual
' host.  Then to determine which <VirtualHost 10.7.7.11> section to use,
' Apache looks at the Host: header and matches against any ServerName or
' ServerAlias directives.  Therefore, it doesn't make sense to have two
' name-based virtual hosts that could match a given Host: header.

I didn't think I was doing that, but I could have gotten backwards
things dyslexic I am. ;-)

Certainly that makes sense.  And when the Host header is absent, my
site won't work at all.  However, the user will get to see Apache
online documentation ;-).
