Apache - mod rewrite with virtual host question

  • 772

I have Apache 2.0 set up with a virtual host like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName wackystore
     ServerAlias wackyprojects
     Alias /media/admin /opt/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/$
     Alias /media /opt/DjangoProjects/wacky/media
     #mod_wsgi setup
     WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/DjangoProjects/wacky/django.wsgi
</VirtualHost>

I have our DNS set up so both "wackystore" and "wackyprojects" go to this server.

What I want to have happen is for mod rewrite to change the url for wackyprojects to wackprojects/tools.

Examples:

http://wackystore -> no change

http://wackystore/something -> no change

http://wackyprojects/ -> http://wackyprojects/tools

http://wackyprojects -> http://wackyprojects/tools

http://wackyprojects/something -> no change

    Something like this should work:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wackyprojects$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/*$
RewriteRule .* http://wackyprojects/tools [R,L]

    "If the HTTP_HOST is wackyprojects and the REQUEST_URI is / or nothing at all, then rewrite the request to http://wackyprojects/tools and stop there."

  2. Try this:

    RewriteEngine   on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    wackyprojects [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$             http://wackyprojects/tools [L,R]
    • NC flag means no case
    • L - Last rule and R - force redirect
