Dear Gentleman,

Greetings!!

I have httpd server installed and I need to do redirect all the requests from clients thats start with a http://abc.*.* on to http://www.xyz.com. I know this has to be done with Rewrite conditions but Im at a loss coming up with the right condition. PLease help out gentleman. Im in a real big rush.

Note that this site doesnt have any virtual hosts configured. Currenlty I only can access the apache test page.

You're right about mod_rewrite. The following should do:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.xyz.com

You'll need to make sure that apache has the mod_rewrite module. The code bathory offered would go in the apache configuration file -- or in a conf file in the conf.d directory which is included by apache automatically.
