HTTPD Redirect Issue

mcupples · 05-15-2007, 03:09 PM

Hey Guys,

I want to redirect all incoming traffic to example.com to go to www.example.com. How would I go about doing this? Here's what I have and it's not working. I resorted to javascript to fix the issue for now, but I'd prefer to have apache do the work.

Code:

<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
DocumentRoot /home/example/public_html
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-sys/ /var/www/cgi-sys/
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/example/public_html/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/home/example/public_html/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride None
  Options None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
CustomLog logs/example.com-access_log combined
ErrorLog logs/example.com-error_log
</VirtualHost>

 <VirtualHost example.com>
  DocumentRoot /home/example/public_html
  ServerName www.example.org
  #ServerAlias example.org
  Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com
 </VirtualHost>

Another question, which would be the fastest alternative? Having php header you over, javascript check the

Code:

window.location.href.indexOf('www.example.com') != -1

or having apache do it?

Here's one of my redirects. Hostnames changed for protection purposes.

<VirtualHost mail.mydomain.com:80>
ServerName mail.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/htdocs/webmail
Redirect / https://mail.mydomain.com/
</VirtualHost>
