Hi I have a situation at work where we have to move one webserver with lots of websites, to a different network. I`ve connected the new network to the old one so that they can reach eachother. But the webserver is a real headache. I need some kind of rewrite rule, that will rewrite every request made to a new apache gateway, so that it points to the new server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
simply because the documentation is very extensive, and I have limited experience with this scenario. Could anyone please provide an example? I understand this can be done two ways. Directly in the vhost file, or with a .htaccess file?
There are some examples for a moved web server here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html That's right.
Ok falco. Lets take an example up front. We have two webservers. One old, and one new. lets say the old server is called : oldws.domain1.com The new server is called : newws.domain2.com I move a website www.customer.com to newws.domain2.com, create a dns record; moved.customer.com, and point it to the new server. Then place a htaccess in the customers root directory with the following: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/~(.+) http://moved.customer.com [R,L] --- Now if someone goes to the customers webpage www.customer.com, they will be redirected to moved.customer.com until they change their DNS record to the new webservers IP. I hope Im able to make sence. A bit complicated to explain.. =) will this method work?
