Alternatively you could add an Alias to your httpd.conf (see: <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html" rel="ugc">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html</a>) e.g.<br />
<br />
Alias /ABC/ &nbsp;/var/web/htdocs/DEF/<br />
<br />
Or add a symbolic link in the root directory e.g.<br />
<br />
ln -s DEF ABC<br />
<br />
Note: Make sure you have a ' FollowSymLinks' &nbsp;in the respective Directory Options block.

Hi, I had a directory name change on my server, let's see from a folder name ABC to DEF<br />
<br />
I placed a redirect on the server something like:<br />
Redirect FROM(ABC) TO(DEF)<br />
<br />
Issue that I am facing is, every sub folder and sub page gets redirect to the DEF folder. <br />
For example, <br />
<br />
&quot;http://xxx.com/ABC/hours.html&quot;&nbsp;gets redirect to <br />
&quot;http://xxx.com/DEF/&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there any way/syntax to just replace ABC with DEF and the server 'd render the rest of the URL as it is. For example:<br />
&quot;http://xxx.com/ABC/hours.html&quot;&nbsp;redirect to <br />
&quot;http://xxx.com/DEF/hours.html&quot;<br />
<br />
It's not just for one page, I am trying to find a way to do that for &quot;ENTIRE&quot; folder so that I don't have to put redirects for each page separately.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts? ideas?<br />

Redirecting a URL

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
