[users@httpd] Redirection confusion
Slightly off-topic: You mentioned you had tried AI and their suggested
solutions didn't work. FYI, I had been posting a problem with Apache and a
problem with "undefined symbol". Thankfully, I eventually got information that
let me get past that from USERS (real people) on this mailing list, but I had
also gotten an AI response from Google AI during one of the Google searches I
did during my research, that had filled me with hope (it said there was an
"optional" parameter on the Apache LoadModule directive), but when I tried
doing that, I got an error from Apache saying that LoadModule only took the
expected 2 parameters.So moral of the story: Be skeptical about AI responses
;)!!Jim

I have a number of domain names which I want to redirect in order to
have a single search engine site.
mysite.com
mysite.com.au
mysite.au
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com.au
www.mysite.au
I want mysite.com to be the single site for seo purposes. I want any
of the above to force redirection to mysite.com and not display the
user-entered domain.
Not only have I researched this via the docs I have asked three
different AIs and none of their solutions work as desired despite
seemingly complying with the docs. I have to accept the blame for
the prompts.
Here is my best guess at a proper redirection for all domain names
...
files: mysite.com.conf, www.mysite.com.conf, mysite.com.au.conf,
www.mysite.com.au.conf, mysite.au.conf, www.mysite.au.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com mysite.com.au www.mysite.com.au
mysite.au www.mysite.au
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect permanent / https://mysite.com/
</VirtualHost>
end file mysite.com.au
All have been enabled (a2ensite ...) on Ubuntu 2024.04 LTS server
The main conf file for mysite.com is mysite.com-le-ssl.conf and it
has the *:443 configuration.
Many thanks for any education/clarification in layman terms.
Cheers
Mike
