Apache2: mod_rewrite vs. mod_proxy

Posted on 11 Jan 2007 in: Code Chunks, General Nerdery, Home

I can’t quite figure this out. I’m trying to write a simple rule to force randys.org to redirect to www.randys.org but it’s not realy working. Of course, I haven’t tried it on a vhost that isn’t proxying request to mongrel. Here’s the rule:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    !^www.randys.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)          http://www.randys.org/$1 [R=301,L]

Anyone?

John Gruber did a write-up about this topic last year. You might find the information helpful.

I haven’t tested it, but I think this is what you want:
```
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^randys\.org$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.randys.org/$1 [R=Permanent]
```
Nice redesign, by the way…

Hmmm, for some reason, this isn’t working. I’ve added this to the main apache2 config as well as the config for the site and the .htaccess file. I seems like it just ignore it. I’m wondering if it has something to do with mod_proxy?

Thanks… some random template.
