Hi All.
I am in the process of attempting to migrate from Apache 1.3 to 2.0 (well,
actually IBM Http Server that comes with WebSphere 5.1 to 6.1).
I have this currently working in the existing 1.3 installation:
NameVirtualHost firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80
<VirtualHost firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80>
ServerName firedragon.warpspeed.com.au:80

</VirtualHost>
The redirect is in place so that if anyone comes in on
http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au they get redirected to
http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au/firedragon/ which is the root of the
webapp.
All of this is working perfectly as expected under 1.3.
However, under 2.0(.47) when I have the Redirect in place, it loops:
http://firedragon.warpspeed.com.au/firedragon/firedragon/... ad infinitum.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to solve this? It's got me stumped.
You probably need to use mod_rewrite instead of the simple "Redirect".
And you will need a "RewriteCond" that will say to NOT redirect in case
the URL already starts with /firedragon.
Unfortunately, I don't know this stuff well enough to be sure, but you
could try :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/firedragon
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /firedragon/$1 [L]
You may want to read here for more details :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/
(or the equivalent in 2.0 docs, but I don't think it has much changed).
Now about your configuration above :
I do not remember how it was in 1.3, but in Apache 2.x the usual way of
using the following directives is :
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName firedragon.warpspeed.com.au
...
</VirtualHost>
unless you have specific reasons to limit this VirtualHost to a specific
server IP address and/or port.
The arguments to the NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost must match exactly.
For example, if you wanted to limit this only to requests on port 80,
(but all interfaces) you would use:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
..
