Topic: Redirection of the links in the page using Apache

[admin]

Restored posts from grapeseed


I am trying to do URL redirection like this using Apache on CentOS:

w w w.newURL.com/somequery

To display the content of the page

w w w.oldURL.com/somequery

Except that all of the links in that page like:

<a href="http://w w w.oldURL.com/somethingfoo...">

To be rewritten or redirected to:

<a href="http://w w w.newURL.com/somethingfoo...">


But, when the old adress is accessed

w w w.oldURL.com/page.jsp

those links in the page should not be changed.


Can someone tell me step by step all the things I need to do, because I'm a beginner in Apache configuration.


Or, in other words:

I want to do the following redirection:

If I have a page with address w w w.oldURL.com/somequery

and with content like:

SomeContent1

<a href="http://w w w.oldURL.com/something1...">

<a href="http://w w w.oldURL.com/something1...">

<a href="http://w w w.oldURL.com/something3...">

I want to do redirection from address w w w.newURL.com/somequery

to display the same content, except with those links changed:

SomeContent1

<a href="http://w w w.newURL.com/something1...">

<a href="http://w w w.newURL.com/something1...">

<a href="http://w w w.newURL.com/something3...">
