I'm trying to use Apache2 userdir to redirect user home directories to external URLs, where the username is at the beginning of the URL (http://www.{USERNAME}.example.com/). The result is that everything after the username is cut off:
UserDir http://www.*.other.website.com/
This will redirect to http://www.{USERNAME} and the rest will get cut off. Basically you can't use it unless it's in the path section of the URL. Is it possible to achieve this without the use of redirect module?
I tried all possible configurations.
Try this
redirect permanent "/foo/" "http://www.example.com/"

I am Using XAMPP Server.
I have a folder or project named test in my htdocs.
I want to redirect user to redirect to newfile.htm when user access oldfile.htm direcly using htaccess.
I wrote below code in mine htaccess file but its not working
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /oldfile.htm /newfile.htm
Kindly Guide me.
Redirect directive is part of apache alias module. You don't need to write RewriteEngine on to use Redirect. The reason why your Redirect failed is because you are a relative test path, you need to specify a full/absolute path in Redirect.
Redirect 301 /test/oldfile.html /test/newfile.html
should work. If the problem presists, Try clearing your browser cache and make sure you dont have other conflicting redirects in htaccess.
I have a vpn server which listens to https://sub.domain.com:943 and https://sub.domain.com:943/admin for the admin panel.
I would like to type on my browser (http) sub.domain.com or sub.domain.com/admin and the apache redirections, to redirect me accordingly.
I manage to do the first part my using a simple Redirect / https://sub.domain.com:943
But how can I achieve the second part?
Was so easy at the end, but I couldnt come up with that on that time.
Redirect /admin https://sub.domain.com:943/admin
Redirect / https://sub.domain.com:943
I'm having the darndest time trying to figure this out.
I have a site on a legacy system which will not permit me to alter the .htaccess file at domain.com. I have moved part of this site to a WordPress install located at sub.domain.com. I have to make the URL domain.com/dir/ redirect silently to sub.domain.com/dir/. How can I go about this? I can edit the Apache config files for both domain.com and sub.domain.com, and the .htaccess for sub.domain.com, but not the .htaccess for domain.com
Thanks!
Just add the redirect into the apache config files. In the virtualhost for domain.com:
Redirect 301 / http://sub.domain.com/
If by "silently" (not sure what that's supposed to mean since redirects are involve the browser sending a new request), I'm guessing you want to reverse proxy? Then you'd need to make sure mod_proxy is loaded, then do:
ProxyPass / http://sub.domain.com/
I just notice if we append "#anydomain.com" to any URL Chrome (and also FF) redirects user to the domains appended.
For example:
http://www.google.com#facebook.com/ - Will redirect to facebook.com
http://www.facebook.com#google.com/ - Will redirect to google.com
I would like to prevent it from my website, does anyone know anything about it?
Thanks in advance!

Adding more info:
If I try to add a '/' before the '#', like this:
http://www.google.com/#facebook.com/
Then Google gives me 404 page not found... But my website still redirects with the '/'
The # symbol is used as part of the URI scheme to login users to a site.
If you notice, as soon as you click it says "You are about to log in Facebook.com with the username..."
Its part of the HTTP protocol. You can't really do anything about it.
Read : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme
I fix it.
The issue was in the Apache configuration, the permanent redirect I have to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS had the wrong template, it was missing a final slash '/'.
So when accessing:
http://mydomain.com/#anotherdomain.com
it was redirecting to https://mydomain.com#anotherdomain.com without the final slash, and the browser default behaviour was to redirect to anotherdomain.com without even hitting my server.
It was only about adding the slash on the redirect clause I have.
Redirect permanent https://mydomain.com/
I have a site at blog.foobar.com that I have closed down, and I want any
page requested there to be forwarded to www.foobar.com
I want my VirtualHost config to do this for me. I currently have the following lines that does nearly what I want but not exactly:
redirect permanent / http://www.foobar.com
Unfortunately what happens is that if I ask for blog.foobar.com instead of forwarding to www.foobar.com it serves the pages on blog.foobar.com instead.
Is there a way doing this in the VirtualHost config or should I use a .htaccess file instead?

You can use the Redirect directive in the context of either a VirtualHost or a .htaccess file. However, what you probably want is a RedirectMatch:
RedirectMatch permanent (.*)$ http://www.foobar.com$1
With that inside your blog.foobar.com VirtualHost, any request to blog.foobar.com would be directed to the same page on www.foobar.com, ie. blog.foobar.com/my/page would go to www.foobar.com/my/page.
