APACHE - Redirect domain to subfolder to VirtualHost

  • 772

i need redirect to a subfolder, when i go to domain.com, redirect to domain.com/foo. In this time i have a simply apache configuration with Alias /foo /var/www/foo. I suppose need create a VirtualHost and i have make this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain.com
        Redirect permanent / http://domain.com/foo/
</VirtualHost>

But i have too many redirect error. I have tried to comment Alias /foo /var/www/foo and add :

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain.com/foo
        <Directory /var/www/foo/>
        Options  FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

But i have same error, any idea?

Thanks

  1. Best Answer

    If you really don't want to map a virtual host to the directory above /foo (consider Jason's comment), use something like:

    <LocationMatch "^/$">
    Redirect permanent "/" "/foo/"
</LocationMatch>

    This way you will limit redirect to domain root and prevent current redirect loop - all Redirect stanzas are applied for locations beginning with the 3rd argument, /foo including, so you also get redirected from /foo to /foo.

  2. @Jason mentioned works for me.

    very simple, at apache2/htdocs/

    create a index.html file, with below content.

    http://localhost will go index.html first, then redirect to /glassgov1/ subfolder.

    <html>

<head>

  <!-- redirect default (index.html) page to another page or subfolder -->
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://localhost:10/glassgov1" />
</head>

    <body>

        <h1>It works!</h1>

    </body>

</html>

    Redirect from a HTML page
