Topic: Trying to sort out redirects in virtual host config

[emob]

I'm having a problem with a virtual host configuration
I have two web sites

www.abc.com (web1/2 ~/home/abc/www/*.html)
www.xyz.com (web1/2 ~/home/abc/www/xyz/*.html)

www.abc.com behaves like I want it to

but for the xyz.com domain currently xyz.com and www.xyz.com dont behave the same

xyz.com
web1.xyz.com
web2.xyz.com
all redirect to
http://www.abc.com/xyz/ (this is what I want)

www.xyz.com
redirect to
www.abc.com (this is not what I want)

I want www.xyz.com to redirect to http://www.abc.com/xyz/ the same as xyz.com does.



Eventually I want www.xyz.com to apear in the URL field but I understand that this is a rewrite which which I'm not ready for yet


I have two hosts and a load balancer
the load balancer is at .51 and the hosts web1 and web2 are at .35 and .36 respectively


I have tried several DNS configurations with no effect
This is what I currently have:

xyz.com A 3600 123.456.789.51
web1.xyz.com A 3600 123.456.789.35
web2.xyz.com A 3600 123.456.789.36
www.xyz.com CNAME 3600 xyz.com



This is my virtual host definition:

########## xyz.COM ##########
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xyz.com
ServerAlias web1.xyz.com
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Redirect / http://www.abc.com/xyz/
</VirtualHost>


I tried adding a second definition to capture the www. part but it didnt change anything
########## WWW.xyz.COM ##########
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.xyz.com
ServerAlias web1.xyz.com
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Redirect / http://www.abc.com/xyz/
</VirtualHost>

YOu want yxz.com in the url but the content of of other domain/xyz folder? if yes a reverse proxy config might be a solution

[emob]

ultimately I want xyz.com to be in the url filed rthare than abc.com/xyz

However the immediate task is to understand the virtual host configuration better so that

both www.xyz.com and xyz.com both redirect to www.abc.com/xyz

currently
xyz.com -> www.abc.com/xyz
and
www.xyz.com -> www.abc.com
