APACHE REDIRECT

- I have 2 VM of Centos also I used base machine:

               1) Centos – 192.168.0.102 (first.com)

                                       192.168.0.103 (second.com)

               2) Centos – 192.168.0.104 (third.com)

               3) Base M/C (Windows) – 192.168.0.1 (Make entry of website and IP in hosts file).

 

- Client i.e. Base Machine send request for “first.com”, and the request go to the VH and searches for “ServerName” and it gives priority to the “Redirect” directive over “DocumentRoot”.

 

- “Redirect” tag told client that it has to redirected to “third.com” and send the details of “third.com” and then client goes to the client. (End user can see the details in Address Bar).

 

Practical 

<SERVER>

1) Go to configuration file and in VH Section add “Redirect” directive:

               # vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

               <VirtualHost 192.168.0.102:80>

                   ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com

                   DocumentRoot /opt/website_directory1

                   ServerName first.com

                   Redirect / http://third.com (“/” is a “ServerName” of server i.e. first.com)

                   DirectoryIndex index.php

                   ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log

                   CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common

               </VirtualHost>

 

2) Reload the “httpd” service.

               # /etc/init.d/httpd reload

<CLIENT>

1) Go to client i.e. Base Machine and open browser, type there

               http://first.com (In browser you can see “third.com” and page of same)
