Apache URL redirection

opethdisciple · 13 Mar 2017 at 14:42

Need some help here guys.

It's a fairly standard Apache issue.

HTTP is being redirected to HTTPS

So http://example.web.local.com is being redirected to https://example.web.local.com

What I need to do is redirect anyone that is going to https://example.web to the full FQDN https://example.web.local.com.

Any ideas?

I tried ServerAlias and setting up another VirtualHost.

There must be a simple rewrite rule I can put in to the existing 443 virtual host to do this.

Thanks

Something like...

Code:

<VirtualHost *:*>
    ServerName example.web
    ... real host settings...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:*>
    ServerName example.web
    Redirect permanent / http://example.web.local.com
</VirtualHost>

Havent tested but 'Redirect' should suffice.

I sorted it using RewriteCond! Woo!

Only partially fixed.

My solutions works in Firefox but not Chromium.

I added the following to the *:443 VHOST config which redirects any example.tst address to the FQDN https://example.tst.xyz.web.local.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.tst$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.tst.xyz.web.local/$1 [R=301,L]

It seems the above code doesn't work in Chromium.... any one have any ideas I can achieve the above in a different way?

I looked at it again this afternoon. I can see that although it might work in Firefox, it's not 'correct' so need to sit down and have another go at it.
