apache redirection does not work

Hi,


I am trying to set up apache redirection rule for redirecting all of our non
'www' domains to 'www' domains. I got the redirection rule from apache
manual
but the rule does not work when we have subdirectories and parameters at the
end of url.

The redirection rule i have is


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]


The above rule works for all urls except when I have urls like

http://example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090624_ 075115_6540

Instead of redirecting the above url to

http://www.example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090 624_075115_6540

It is redirecting it to home page of site with
"?content=20090624_075115_6540" at the end


http://www.example.com/index.jsp?content=20090624_075115_654 0

I need a generic redirection rule to redirection all non 'www' urls to 'www'
urls. I have to apply this rule on almost 50 web sites.


Thanks,

Please enable a RewriteLog with

Rewritelog logs/rewrite_log
Rewriteloglevel 6

in your httpd.conf and post the result (may be as an attachment).

Try adding QSA to the flags at the end of the redirect. (Query-String All)

Sharjeel,

I know it's not what you are asking for, but may accomplish your task.

You can try adding a ServerAlias to the VirtualHost:

ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com

Here is the documentation at apache site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#serveralias


Sorry if it's not what you are asking for, but it's pretty much waht I'd
do. With a simple script you can manage to add the ServerAlias to all
the VirtualHosts.


Cheers,

Martin

The issue with creating ServerAlias is we get two analytics reports for each
of our site. There are many benefits associated with redirecting non 'www'
urls to 'www' urls.

I tried using following configuration in httpd.conf as per Bob
recommendation.


Rewritelog logs/rewrite_log
Rewriteloglevel 6


It created file rewrite_log but did not write any thing in the log file. I
have also tried using QSA flag to the rule but that didn't work either.


Thanks,

no RewriteEngine on, htaccess not being read (allowoverride?), or
rules in a that isn't actually handling the request?

rewriteEngine is on. Here is the rule in Virtual Host.


Servername www.example.com
DocumentRoot /www/www_example_com/
CustomLog /var/log/apache/www_example_com_access.log
combined env=!disable_logging

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.jsp.*$|.*\/$|$)
http://localhost:6201/www_example_com/$1 [P]
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:6201/www_example_com



Can I say this is a bug in apache as I got this redirction rule from apache
manual to redirect all non 'www' requests to 'www' requests but it seems as
apache is not handling the urls with parameter at the end?

Did you paste the right snippet? That's a pretty elaborate regex, and
doesn't redirect at all but proxies.

the redirection rule is written in a separate file under .


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]


The issue was that above rule works for all urls except for urls like
http://example.com/news/headlines/more.jsp?content=20090624_ 075115_6540


the rule redirects the above url to home page of site

=A0the redirection rule is written in a separate file under <VirtualHost=

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ " target=3D"_blank">example.com$

The issue was that above rule works for all urls except for urls li=

the rule redirects the above url to home page of site

And it can't be captured by a RewriteLog? Is it some other
rewrite/redirect occuring?
