Apache virtual hosting url redirect from one domain to other domain without showing the url in the browser?
That's not redirect, that's called Reverse Proxy.
Example:
ProxyPass /url-path/ http://backend.example.com/url-path/
This will reverse proxy all requests to /url-path/whatever to the server backend specified
More information at:

No, there isn't a way to do this with .htaccess if your sites are on different servers. Doing so would present big security hole, imagine if someone does this with a bank´s website.
However, if both are hosted on the same server try this on your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.domain1.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.domain2.com$1 [P]
</IfModule>
If you own both domains you could accomplish this with domain name forwarding. Check the options in your registrar (maybe godaddy, or dns managers like cloudflare).

I am hosting my website on godaddy and recently purchased an SSL cert so I can also run https traffic. However, I want all https traffic to go to a specific folder that regular http cannot get to. In addition, I don't want the specific folder to be a sub-folder of the main http document root.
GoDaddy cPanel folder structure:
/home/myAccountFolder/
/cache
/logs
/public_html
/private_html
...
By default, all standard http traffic for "www".foo.com will go to /public_html - but how can I get all traffic for https://api.foo.com to map to the /private_html folder?
I am told that .htaccess can do this but can't seem to locate how to do this. I know I could redirect https to /home/myAccountFolder/public_html/secure, but I want it going to /home/myAccountFolder/private_html - a completely different root folder.
Also, I don't have access to the server configuration or (that I am aware of) have the ability to create/manage virtual hosts within GoDaddy's cPanel enviornment. All I can do is control directories and what goes into my websites .htaccess file.
Inside your site root .htaccess you can use this rule to redirect api.foo.com to secure/ folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^api\. [NC]
RewriteRule !^api/ api%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]
Inside your api/.htaccess you can use this rule to allow only http://api.foo.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^api\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
# rest of the rules
I have a requirement where I have to redirect my hostname to particular application which is again hosted on same Apache. Let's take an example, When I hit on host(https://domain1.example.com), It should internally redirect me to Apache Web Application (https://domain1.example.com/application1) without changing the browser URL.
I am not sure how to achieve SSL to SSL redirection. Thanks in Advance..!!!
This should work. This will redirect all incoming urls that are going to domain1.example.com/ to domain1.example.com/application1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.example.com$
RewriteRule ^$ https://domain1.example.com/application1 [L,R=301]
If without changing browsing URL is your goal then PROXY is your way.
Put following in your apache vhost or global file,
ProxyPass https://domain1.example.com/ https://domain1.example.com/application1
ProxyPassReverse https://domain1.example.com/ https://domain1.example.com/application1
PS shibboleth has nothing to do with this, at least you have not mentioned any case.
EDIT
ProxyPass should come to virtural host not in location
Ideally all the location tag should be out of virtual host
We have different domains that are hosted on our server. Recently one of the main sections of our site has been moved to another server and been given a subdomain:
http://www.mysite.com/store
Has been moved to
http://store.mysite.com
Within our apache VirtualHost we wanted to redirect all traffic from the old domain to the new one:
Redirect permanent /store http://store.mysite.com
The problem is, we have other hosted sites that are being redirected now:
http://www.othersite.com/store
http://api.greatsite.com/store
We don't want this. How can I only have apache do redirects if http://www.mysite.com/store which has the /store path, and ignore other domains with /store?
Use mod_rewrite based code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?store(/.*|)$ http://store.mysite.com [L,R=301,NC]
I have 5 sites on one apache server. One of the sites is with SSL. So when the other sites are accessed with https then they are redirected to the SSL site which is incorrect.
E.g.
https://x.com (with SSL)
http://y.com (normal site no SSL)
If I access https://y.com then I get the content from x.com. How can I fix so https://y.com just gets rewritten to http://y.com?
In your .htaccess put:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://y.com/$1 [R=301,L]
You can define it in apache config file. You must add a rule to connection incoming from https port.
If you are using linux, propably you have this config in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.
If you don't have this file you must searching https virtualhost:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
I want to redirect the sub-domain webmail to /roundcube for that domain. This have to work for all virtual hosts in apache.
Example:
webmail.example.com must point to [www.]example.com/roundcube
How is this possible? The server where it has to be done is configured with direct admin :S
mod_rewrite is your friend.
Try something like this in your Apache VirtualHost configuration:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail\.[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^webmail\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)$ http://www.$1.$2/roundcube [R=permanent]
...and configure DNS to point webmail.example.com to the same server as www.example.com.
