URL redirection in Apache2

Trying to redirect url from one web server on my local network to another web server on my local network. I assumed that all I needed was a .htaccess file in the / var / www directory, the contents of which are only 3 lines:

Options + FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteMatch newsite \ .level2 \ .level1 \ .com http://192.168.0.250:8080

Also I created a symbolic link in the / etc / apache 2 / mods-enabled folder for / etc / apache2 / mods-available / rewrite.load

1st: When I enter "newsite.level2.level1.com" in the browser, I end up at level2.level1.com. 2nd: Does RewriteMatch add ports to the new url.

It should be mentioned that level2.level1.com via DynDns.org as I have Comcast and the feature allowing * .level2.level1.com is enabled

Thanks for watching Rich

Rewriting rules are applied to the portion of the URL path, not the main portion. You control the bulk of compliance by placing rewrite rules in appropriate containers <VirtualHost>

.

You can redirect to another host, but the rule you have will never match.



If you want to redirect all requests, try something like

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteMatch .* http://192.168.0.250:8080/

You can use mod_proxy for this:



ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.250:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.250:8080/
