Hi,

Mod_rewrite might be overkill for what you are trying to do. If you have mod_alias you can just use a virtual host and redirect to the new site.

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1> ServerName www.foo.com ServerAlias foo.com Redirect / http://www.foo.org/ </VirtualHost>

More info here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect

Howdy All,

I have a quick question on Apache 2.x (2.0.51 to be precise) and mod_rewrite.

I’ve been trolling documentation at apache.org, but their examples are flying over my head.  For the purposes of example, let’s say I have purchased two domains – foo.com and foo.org.  What I want to occur (without leaning on an http-equiv redirect in the browser), is to have anyone who visits www.foo.com automagically redirected to www.foo.org.

Can anyone share with me a recipe for this that I can chew on.  (Or even better, considering how lazy I am, just throw up and live with!)

Thanks,

Slashdot does something similar. Rather than www.slashdot.org, it redirects you to slashdot.org (try it sometime). Apache2 config would look something like this in your case:

<VirtualHost *> ServerName www.foo.org ServerAlias www.foo.com,foo.com,foo.org DocumentRoot /home/www/foo.org/

# Turn rewrite engine on RewriteEngine On

# Set logging on RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log

# Match foo.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.foo.com [NC]

# Match anything else RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$

# www.foo.com/test/1 ==> www.foo.org/test/1 RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.foo.org/$1 [L,R] </VirtualHost>

I've used it on one of my sites. Basically any paths on www.foo.com are redirected to www.foo.org.

It's probably overkill for your needs, but it might be what you're looking for.
