Apache directive related

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a problem for a day now.

I have two domains hosted on the same ISPConfig system.

example.com and example.de

I've a multi-language web site running on example.com web space. I would like to forward example.de inquiries to example.com/index.php?lang=german

I can create a forward using that URL, but my problem is, ISPconfig adds a "/" at the end of forwarded URL as a rule. Then my site does not recognize the language pointer. I would still get the English site.

I know that I can not edit the vhosts_ispconfig.conf manually, and the only way is to add an apache directive for example.de.

What do I insert in that text area?

I've tried both;

Solution 1:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^example\.de [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://www.example.com/index.php?lang=german$1 [
L,R]

Solution 2:
Copy paste the complete Virtual Host text.

Both did not work. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,

 

Till thank you for the reply.

But I could not understand the problem with the directive.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^example\.de [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://www.example.com/index.php?lang=german$1 [
L,R]

This code is automatically created by ISPConfig into the vhost file, if I use the forward capability. Can you tell me what seems to be the problem in the code that I insert?
