How to make RewriteCond+RewriteRule change domain2/folder1 to domain1/folder1
- by gman
There's actually 2 questions.
One is, how do I make RewriteCond+RewriteRule change domain2/folder1 to domain1/folder1
Actually what I want is any domain that tries to access folder1 that is not domain1 gets switched to domain1. So for example domain2.com/domain1/foo - domain1.com/domain1/foo as well as domain3.com/domain1/foo - domain1.com/domain1/foo
This is what I tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder1/
RewriteRule ^/folder1/(.*)$ http://domain1.com/folder1/$1 [L,R=permanent]
But that doesn't work. Next I tried some a simpler rule to see if I could narrow down the issue.
RewriteCond ${HTTP_HOST} domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://google.com/ [L]
I though that would make ANY request to domain2.com go to google.com so I tried http://domain2.com/foo but I get domain2.com/foo not google.com If I go to http://domain2.com I get google. Why don't I get there if I go to http://domain2.com/foo?
What am I not understanding about mod_rewrite?
