Hi Everybody,
One of my applicaiton was migrated to new hardware and new version of IBM HTTPserver.

  App team wants , when customer visit the old URL, it's automatically re-direct to new URL. I was tried to add  below content under section 2 in http.conf file , but it doens't work. 

#With RedirectMatch
RedirectMatch ^/docs/(.*) https://new.url.com/appname/$1


OLD URL is : https://old.url.com/appname

Please suggest what am i missing on this.

Thanks

Hi WAS
 
  Take in mind that I give you an example and information about redirect
 
  If you want to redirect from old.url.com/appname to new.url.com/appname/ I suggest redirect directive.

  type complet url (https://) the forum editor hide it
 
  Redirect /appname/ new.url.com/appname/

  Hope this helps.  Tel us if you need more support
 
regards

Hi Gabriel,
I tried with you option, but still loading old URL only,doesn't see any errors in logs

Here is the content from httpd.conf file. URL starts with (https://)

RedirectEngine on
Redirect https://old.url.com/appname https://new.url.com/appname

Recycled instance.

Hi WAS,

  I don't know redirectEngine directive.  The directive is RewriteEngine, I have tested without it, that is commenting RewriteEngine on orputting RewriteEngine off
 
  Check where are you putting

  Redirect https://old.url.com/appname  https://new.url.com/appname 

  I have test putting out of any Directory section and only putting

  Redirect /appname/  https://new.url.com/appname/

Hi Gabriel,
Sorry, i am still not able to get this.  I removed all existing entries and then updated Redirect at below location.

Is it right location to update Redirect ?

#
# Redirect allows you to tell clients about documents which used to exist in
# your server's namespace, but do not anymore. This allows you to tell the
# clients where to look for the relocated document.
# Example:
# Redirect permanent /foo www.example.com/bar

Redirect /appname/  https://new.url.com/appname /


#
# Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings.
#

#
# IndexOptions: Controls the appearance of server-generated directory
# listings.

Thanks in Advance

Hi WAS,

  Yeeesssss!!!! I put it there.

  I have test with IHS 6.1 and IHS 7, but i think that need to work between 6.1 and 8

Hi Gabriel,

hmm, no luck, still getting Old SSO login page after the changes.


THanks

Hi WAS,

This is the redirect rule I wrote for my app team with the same requirements as yours:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/appName/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule / https://new.url%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]

Instead of doing a redirect match, I created a rewrite rule.  This way, any request for appName will automatically be directed to the URL you specify. 

This works in a WAS 7/Network Deployment/Virtual Enterprise, clustered environment, but you should be able to tweak it to meet your needs.

Hope this helps!

Danielle

WAS,


  Sure that Danielle's suggestion works fine.

  Thank for shared your solution Danielle.
