Hi, Im using .htaccess and it is working for ErrorDocument 404 redirecting to URL: http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2 when the URL request is: http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1

The .htaccess resides in the document root directory but I cant seem to redirect URL request from http://ServerA.domain.com to http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2.

I tried doing the following in .htaccess:

Redirect / http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2

I'm sure this is fairly simple but I can't seem to get passed it. I also tried using rewrite module but to no avail.

Please post your htaccess file contents.. (remove sensitive identifiable info)


Try this

Code:
RedirectMatch 302 ^/([^/])$ http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2


Or

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2 [R=302,L]

Or
Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/])$ http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2 [R=302,L]


If none of these work then you will have to provide me with more information. Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply..

I tried all three options in the .htaccess but the result I got were Internal Server error 500. Instead I tried using ErrorDocument 404 and that worked.

Here's the contents of the current .htaccess file located in the Document Root dir:

ErrorDocument 404 http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2/index.htm
ErrorDocument 403 http://ServerA.domain.com/dir1/dir2/index.htm

For the mod_rewrite, I uncommented it from the httpd.conf file (recycled) no difference. I also did a apachectl -l and found that only the following modules are compiled:

core.c worker.c http_core.c mod_suexec.c mod_so.c

Could this be the issue of why your options didnt work?

#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so
#LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so
#LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so
#LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.so
LoadModule cgid_module modules/mod_cgid.so
#LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
#LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so
LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so
#LoadModule imap_module modules/mod_imap.so
LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so
#LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so
LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so
