Thread: mod_rewrite

Hi,

I have inherited a vhosts .conf file listed below. It was already doing a rewrite http to https which was working fine. I have added the line in red (and several variations of the same thing), which should be redirecting from an index.html page on root to a folder common/. After the update i run a graceful restart. The redirect did not work although the http to https still works. Grateful for any help or suggestions as to where I am going wrong.

Thanks
Mathew

U should either below method

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html /common/ [R=302,NC]

or
Redirect 302 /index.html /common/

Thanks Manish.

i eventually got around to trying the above but i did not work for me although other rules i had in there worked fine.
Could there be some config elsewhere which could be preventing this redirect?

Thanks
Mathew
