Redirecting a URL to a subdomain regardless of Virtual Domain

Server Config
1

I’m trying to redirect http://www.anydomain.com/rc to http://webmail.anydomain.com

It needs to work on all virtual domains.

This is what I have so far

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/rc(/?)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://webmail.%{HTTP_HOST} [R=302,L]

This works for http://anydomain.com/rc which is correctly rewritten to http://webmail.anydomain.com

but it doesn’t work for http://www.anydomain.com/rc which becomes http://www.webmail.anydomain.com

Can anyone show me how to do this please?

Kind regards,

Peter

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/rc [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://webmail.hardcode-the-domain.tld [R=302,L]

That should work if you actually put the domain instead of using HTTP_HOST to fill it in. (HTTP_HOST will contain the www subdomain)

True, but that’s not going to work in my global httpd.conf for all virtual subdomains.

Lets see you config (httpd.conf) for these virtual domains.

RewriteEngine on


# Removing "www" subdomain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/rc [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://webmail.%{HTTP_HOST} [R=302,L]

This is one of them. They each have their own .conf files

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.domain1.com
        ServerAlias domain1.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/www/public
        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/www/public/cgi-bin/

        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/sites/www.bytes bytes
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/sites/www.log combined
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/sites/www.error.log

        <Directory /var/www/html/www/public>
                Options +Includes -Indexes
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I’m hoping to put the solution in the main httpd.conf though.
