Hello everyone!
I have an apache22 server hosting several domains (we'll call one of them "example.com"). I also have a local wiki server running on 172.30.1.20:5999. I would like to access the wiki from wiki.example.com. My virtual host here accomplishes most of what I want to do, however, there is an issue. The wiki needs a specific path to load correctly (http://wiki.example.com/companyname/wiki). So, when I go to http://wiki.example.com/ I get "page not found", but if I go to http://wiki.example.com/companyname/wiki I get the correct content. I would like http://wiki.example.com/ to redirect to http://wiki.example.com/companyname/wiki, so that no one has to remember or type the full URL. I tried to add a permanent redirect, but after a few seconds of loading the page I get this in my address bar: "http://wiki.example.com/companyname/wikicompanyname/wikicompanyname/wikicomp-nyname/wikicompanyname/wikicompanyname/wikicompanyname/..."
What do I need to so to preserve my proxy, and redirect the URL correctly?
Thanks!
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName wiki.example.com
ServerAlias wiki.example.com
ProxyPass / http://172.30.1.20:5999/
ProxyPassReverse / http://172.30.1.20:5999/
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 172.30.1.0/24
</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

Not tested, but I would try
| Code: |
<Location />
Redirect permanent / http://wiki.example.com/companyname/wiki
</location>

Thanks for the reply, however, this did not work. After doing some more searching I think I may need mod_rewrite, but I don't know how to use it. Everything I come up with either has a syntax error or just doesn't seem to do anything. |

This I've tested
| Code: |
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/company/wiki/
RewriteRule (.*) company/wiki/$1 [R=301,L]
