I'm trying to add a number of redirects from old domains to new domains which I have done before using simple 301 redirects in my vhost files like:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
  ServerName olddomain.com
  ServerAlias www.olddomain.com
  Redirect 301 / http://www.newdomain.com/
</VirtualHost>

However this isn't working in my vhost file and I am assuming its because of the Varnish server running in front of Apache but not sure how to fix it. The main site, in the same vhost file, is using the same port, ex:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
  ServerName www.newdomain.com
  ...

</VirtualHost>

What am I missing? I've tried working with the varnish configuration file to add the redirects in there but ran into issues -- is that the best option?

I've got an unresponsive Rackspace slice that has defied all attempts at accessing. I created an emergency image from this and deleted it, downloading the files that compromise the image to a local source. There are a number of files / assets I would still like to recover from this server if possible but not sure exactly what I can do with the image files, if anything.

Here's the files I have, for what its worth:

emergency_########_######_cloudserver########.tar.gz.0 (5gb)
emergency_########_######_cloudserver########.tar.gz.1 (5gb)
emergency_########_######_cloudserver########.tar.gz.2 (5gb)
emergency_########_######_cloudserver########.tar.gz.3 (50mb)
emergency_########_######_cloudserver########.yml (25kb)

Is it possible to mount this image as a drive? Are there other forensic recovery options?
