[SOLVED] lighttpd redirect question

5883 · 04-14-2013, 09:36 PM

lighttpd 1.4.28 on emebdded board.

i'm newbie on this, i have a lighttpd.conf working.

based on that, want to make redirect to work,
each time i see C*.pl, want to redirect it to *.pl.
e.g. CfirstPage.pl => firstPage.pl

in the config file, i added 2 lines,
"mod_redirect", (in the server modules)
url.redirect = (
"^/(.*)" => "http://example.com/$1",
)

this is from
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects...wtoredirectwww

But not working, cannot even open the index.html.

any help appreciated !

just a question: did you replace example.com to your own hostname?

Hi,

You should use rewrite:
url.rewrite = ( "^/C(.+).pl" => "/$1.pl" )

What you mean? That Status.pl gets rewritten as it should, while CCluster.pl doesn't

Don't get what you mean

based on the suggestion you gave,

10.50.1.2/Status.pl can display correctly in the web,
10.50.1.2/CCluster.pl cannot display,

in my server, i have Status.pl, Cluster.pl

now my question is,
url.rewrite = ( "^/C(.+).pl" => "/$1.pl" )
will it process CCluster.pl, or 10.50.1.2/CCluster.pl

thanks !

It will rewrite the URI (i.e. everything after the "/") that starts with a capital "C" and end in .pl, regardless of the server IP
Please note, that with the above rule CCluster.pl will be rewritten twice resulting in luster.pl (maybe not what you want)
If you want to rewrite it once, so it reads Cluster.pl then you need:

Code:

url.rewrite-once = ( "^/C(.+).pl" => "/$1.pl" )

still not working when i try
10.50.1.2/CStatus.pl, (10.50.1.2. is just a dummy ip i put here)
was hoping it can translate into Status.pl.

is it possible you take a quick look at my attached config file ?
if you can have time,
either way, appreciate your time !

your regexp is definitely not ok:

Code:

#### url handling modules (rewrite, redirect, access)
# url.rewrite                 = ( "^/$"             => "/server-status" )
#url.redirect                = ( "^/([a-zA-Z](.*)/(.pl)$" => "http://%1" )

#$HTTP["host"] =~ "^10\.(.*)$" {
url.redirect                = ( "^C/(.+).pl" => "/$1.pl" )
#}

# that would be better:
url.redirect                = ( "^/C(.+).pl" => "/$1.pl" )

# probably works....

Didn't look further, as the first thing I saw is that you have mod_rewrite disabled.
You need to remove the "#" in front of it, so it reads

Code:

<snip>
            "mod_compress",
           "mod_rewrite",
           "mod_redirect",
<snip>
