URL redirect in apache2

[palcica]

Ok, my problem is that ia have 2 servers. One is a webserver with apache2 and the other one is a exchange mail server with OWA only ssl suport.
Now I have a problem in apache2 redirection... how to redirect http://mail.domain.com on apache to https://domain.com/exchange on exchange. The solution on iis webserver is very simple but on apache.... :confused:

First, run this command to enable the required module.

sudo a2enmod rewrite


Then add this to your vhost config, within the VirtualHost tag.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) https://domain.com/exchange


If you don't already have a vhost configuration for mail.domain.com, then create this file:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/mail
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName mail.domain.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) https://domain.com/exchange
</VirtualHost>
...then enable it

sudo a2ensite mail


Restart apache, and it should work.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


The solution on iis webserver is very simple but on apache....
If you want simple, use IIS. If you want secure and efficient, use apache.

instead of
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load

you could also use

sudo a2enmod
-->rewrite


which provides a slightly easier mechanism for mod linking.
