Hello Apache Gurus,
I'm for sure not a professional in Apache and I need to find a one-time
solution for a problem below to support my new technical bilingual site.
I have a primary domain <dname>.COM and domain <dname>.RU set as an alias
for <dname>.COM at the same ISP. All pages are bilingual and are located in
one directory, i.e. all English pages are <page>.HTM and are intended for
international customers whereas the corresponding <page_ru>.HTM Russian
mirror pages are for Russia domestic customers. Correspondingly, the startup
index page INDEX.HTM has its INDEX_RU.HTM mirror in Russian.
I need to redirect the www.<dname>.RU site opening request, which Apache
automatically routes to the INDEX.HTM page (because <dname>.RU is set as an
alias for <dname>.COM site), to the INDEX_RU.HTM page instead in order to
have all Russian customers to go to the Russian pages initially. I guess
that this shall be done somehow using Rewrite module
directives in .haccess file.
I looked thru Apache 2.4 online manual and it looks to be not easy to
understand how to do and will take me a lot of time to learn and debug. This
is not my business actually and I just need to find a one-time solution and
forget about this.
Pls note, that I need the www.<dname>.RU domain as an alias for the .COM
domain and not as an add-on domain with simple automatic start page
redirection to the page of the .COM site. I need to keep .RU domain as basic
domain for all pages once user has came into the www.<dname>.RU domain
initially.
I highly appreciate any assistance with this issue.
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Pavel Semyonov
