I'm trying to set up a new server with several virtual hosts but also such that if
the requested fqdn doesn't match a virtual host then
the request is redirected to http://example.com/log.php?url=fqdn
I have got
the default host redirecting as desired however
the virtual host that I have defined doesn't work.
I'm testing using a different host and curl -I http://hostname.example.com:8080/ on
the command line to read
the html headers to check for
the redirect header directly rather than following it with a browser (to avoid any caching issues).
I have defined a virtualhost as
the fqdn of
the server but when I use curl to request that virtualhost I get redirected. If I request
the server by any other name which doesn't have a virtualhost defined I also get redirected.
apache version is 2.2.16 on ubuntu
The config (concatenated together in order from a couple of different files) is as follows:
Listen 8080
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost _default_>
ServerAdmin
[email protected]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/log.php?url=%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=302,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
<Directory "/var/www">
allow from
all
Options Indexes
</Directory>
DocumentRoot /var/www
ServerName hostname.example.com
</VirtualHost>
I've also tried ServerName values of hostname.example.com:* and hostname.example.com:8080
In case I wasn't clear enough:
anything.anything.any/something requested from my server should redirect to example.com/log.php?url=anything.anything.any/something
foo.example.com (not defined as a VirtualHost) requested from my server should redirect to example.com/log.php?url=foo.example.com
hostname.example.com (defined as a VirtualHost) requested from my server should return an html document
anothername.example.com (also defined as a VirtualHost) requested from my server should return an html document
It turns out that because
the servers own fqdn is hostname.example.com that gets redirected to
the Default VirtualHost even if there is a named VirtualHost for it. Other fqdn's that are not
the same as
the servers fqdn work as I intended.
