Does anyone know a way to do a permanent redirect from a.example.com to b.example.com? I have other subdomains that need to remain as they are though. so:
first.example.com -> second.example.com
third.example.com is fine
fourth.example.com is fine
I want to do this in the <VirtualHost>
block rather than an .htaccess to avoid having to redeploy again.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks
Add the following RewriteRule
to your VirtualHost
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^first.example.com$
RewriteRule ^ http://second.example.com [R=301,L]
If you wanted to redirect first.example.com/some/url
to second.example.com/some/url
:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^first.example.com$
RewriteRule /(.*) http://second.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Recommend you use [R=302]
whilst testing the rules to avoid problems with 301s getting cached by your browser.
