Apache Environment Variables in MOD rewrite

  • 772

IN my httpd.conf I am setting a variable

SetEnv MY_URL_WWW       "http://myURLtowhatever.com"

And in my .htaccess, i have a rewrite rule, where i want to redirect to my ENV url

RewriteRule ^redirect$ %{ENV:MY_URL_WWW} [L,NC,R=301,QSA]

This is not working, and i really want it to, what am i doing wrong?

apache-2.2 mod-rewrite env

  1. You must set it with RewriteRule. Try this:

    RewriteRule .* - [E=MY_URL_WWW:http://myURLtowhatever.com]

    PS: you can enable the mod_rewrite log with RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel to see what happen.
