The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Redirect (or rewrite) URL with Apache

Asked by mrgordonz in Apache Web Server, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

Tags: Apache, redirect, rewrite

I am trying to configure a rewrite with Apache so that anyone who goes to the root of the site, is redirected to a specific subdirectory.

For example:

Anyone going to

http://my.domain.com

is automatically redirected to

http://my.domain.com/This/Sub/Directory

A couple of important points to note.

1. All requests, must be rewritten as https
2. The subdirectory is case sensitive (ie: /this/sub/directory is wrong, but /This/Sub/Directory is correct)
3. Any requests for a specific resource (ie: something other than the root) should not be redirected, only rewritten as https. For example, http://my.domain.com/assets/logo.gif should be rewritten as https://my.domain.com/assets/logo.gif, but not redirected at all

I currently have the following directives in httpd.conf to rewrite as https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

and this works perfectly.

I had thought that maybe I could simply add another rule like this:

RewriteRule http://my.domain.com http://my.domain.com/This/Sub/Directory

I thought that if I made it the first rule it would handle the redirection, and the next rule would rewrite the request as https.

Alas, it doesn't work.

I also tried the following:

Alias / /This/Sub/Directory

But that just gave me an error.

I am not sure of the best way to implement this - I don't know if I should be using a redirect or a rewrite.

This is kind of urgent, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Paul
