[SGVLUG] Apache Help-Rewrite Cond?

[Junaid A]

Yes, I used mod-rewrite with rewrite engine on. I redirected everything from abc.com/doc1 /doc 2 etc. to just xyz.com. However, that was not that I was supposed to do. 

 

There are other items on the server that need to be access via a web browser. This means that I can not redirect everything but only certain things. 

 

Someone told me I should look into the following:

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^https://abc.com/docs/([A-Z]\d{5,6})$  [NC]

RewriteRule .* https://xyz.com/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=$1 [L]

 

However, I am not too familiar with RewriteCond and was looking for more guidance on that.

 

Thanks again.

You mention rewriting but how did you apply that?
(what do your rules look like?) 
I assume the mod_rewrite rule you did just redirected all abc.com traffic to
http://www.xyz.com/

I assume that changing the DNS entries for the www.abc.com host
to aim at www.xyz.com is not an option in that the www.abc.com
server is still used for non port80 traffic?

If so using mod_rewrite but with a more sophisticated
URL rewrite so you leave the last part of the URI intact.

I will look for references or examples that do what you're seeking
(assuming I understand correctly). I'm starting at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

Hi everyone,

 

Is there an Apache Guru amongst us? I haven’t used Apache for a long time, especially on Unix. (Running Apache 2.0 on SunOS 5.10)

 

I have to redirect specific documents on our old server to a new server. I already tried a mod rewrite and redirected everyone accessing the old server to go to the main page on the new server. However, that is not what I was supposed to do. 

 

I need help/guidance so that I may redirect www.abc.com/doc123 to server www.xyz.com/doc123 and so on. 

 

Is there someone who can help me by at least pointing me to a good forum/site that may guide me as to how I may accomplish this task?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Junaid
