Redirect URL , Mask address, eventually will need to apply SSL
Hello All,
I am trying to do a redirect, which I have been able to do using the htaccess file, but I am having trouble meeting all of my requirements.
When users go to subdomain.domain.com, they need to be redirected to ip:8080/directory.
Address should be masked as subdomain.domain.com.
all directories for this site must be located using subdomain.domain.com/direc tories and there should be no imaging or access issues.
We will eventually need to add SSL to this, as it is a CRM site and the data needs to be protected.
Ive searched the net and found many articles where the code doesnt work.
Any help here is appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

I just mean i dont want the redirected address to show.
So a quick update. The redirect works, but I still see the address with the IP and not the subdomain.domain.com address.
Thanks for helping with this.

Do I just add this to the currently working htaccess file? Say the bottom for example?
ASKER
this should be inside a <VirtualHost subdomain.domain.com> directive
Also, what does this mean?

no, it must be in apache's config file, i.e. httpd.conf

you need to have a virtualhost section for your subdomain.domain.com
otherwise you cannot easily redirect the urls of just that subdomain
see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/

here is how mod_rewrite can do it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^8080$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(subdomain.domain.com)$
RewriteRule (.*) http://ip/$1
what do you mean by?
