I have multiple URL's that looks something like this :
- stage-app-platform-com.something.com
- stage.something.com
- stage1.something1.com
I wanted to create an Apache 301 redirect rule which, if the URL contains the pattern app-platform should forward to stage1.app.com and any other request hitting the server should be redirected to stage2.app.com. To do so, I wrote the following redirect rule:
RewriteRule ^stage-app-platform-com$ https://stage1.app.com/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://stage2.app.com/ [L,R=301]
Now the second rule which states all the traffic hitting should be re-directed to https://stage2.app.com/ works but the first one doesn't seem to work. If the first URL is requested Apache forwards to the https://stage2.app.com/ instead of https://stage1.app.com/
As I am pretty much new to writing re-write rules, I am finding it a bit difficult. I would appreciate any help.

Try the following. But first explicity clear your browser cache. Redirects are often cached.
