Helo,

I want to redirect my subdomain to an internal URL.

For example when user types in someaddress.com he should see a homepage

but when xxx.someaddress.com is typed in I'd like to open http://someaddress.com/testpage

How to achieve this?

I already tried with:

<VirtualHost *:8089> DocumentRoot "c:\app" </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost sms.localhost:8089> ServerName smslocalhost Redirect permanent / http://localhost:8089/testpage </VirtualHost>

Problem is that whatever I type in now, I get redirected to http://localhost:8089/testpage

I'm not sure your first vhost definition is doing anything so everything is being processed by the second definition. Try

<VirtualHost *:8089> ServerName localhost DocumentRoot "c:\app" </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost sms.localhost:8089> ServerName sms.localhost Redirect permanent / http://localhost:8089/testpage </VirtualHost>

EDIT: From the comments.

NameVirtualHost *:8089

fixed the problem.

  • Thanks for your reply. I tried this already. First definition had "ServerName localhost" and the second one had "ServerName sms.localhost". It didn't work. Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 9:36
  • You did remember to put an entry for sms.localhost in your %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file didn't you? Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 9:47
  • Yes. "127.0.0.1 sms.localhost" Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 9:50

    @Goran: I just tested the exact configuration above on a wamp server and it works exactly as you want. Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 10:26
  • When I added NameVirtualHost *:8089 everything started working. Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 11:06
