Apache2 Redirect to Subdirectory – How to Configure

.htaccessapache-2.2redirect

I am running apache2 on Debian etch, with multiple virtual hosts.

I want to redirect so that http://git.example.com goes to http://git.example.com/git/

Should be really simple, but Google isn't quite cutting it. I've tried the Redirect and Rewrite stuff and they don't quite seem to do what I want …

Feel a bit silly - a bit more googling turned up the answer I was after:

RedirectMatch ^/$ /git/

Basically redirecting the root, and only the root.

This code could do in a .htaccess file (there is a tag for this, so I assume that is the original use case). But if you can edit ,the main server apache config then put it in the section for your website probably inside a <VirtualHost> section.

The docs for RedirectMatch say that the context can be "server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess".

I'm not sure that "silently failing" is a good idea. You should give the client at least some indication of what happened. Perhaps you could send an http 410 "gone" error. Something like this should do the trick:

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [G]

In addition, you should be able to specify a custom 410 error document, which could just be a blank html page.

Apache redirect based on referrer

This isn't caused by any rewrite rules on railsrumble.com. Your website is the default website for the IP address (http://74.207.240.229), both sites are served from the same IP address.

You can forward all visitors who are not using your own domain with the following rewrite rules:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !.*?agilegrad.com$ [NC]
ReWriteRule /(.*)$ http://www.agilegrad.com/$1 [R=301,L]
