Greetings,

Our school district runs Apache on our district Linux web server. I
want to do a redirection, which I think Apache should be able to
handle (maybe with Mod Rewrite? Maybe some other way?) Here is the
situation...

1) Let's say our web server address is www.blahblah.com (just an
example)

2) Now let's say we have an awesome resource located at
www.blahblah.com/~awesomeresource

3) The resource is so awesome, we want people to be able to get to it
easily. So we purchase the domain name www.awesomeresource.com (of
course not really that, just an example)

4) Now we want www.awesomeresource.com to actually go to
www.blahblah.com/~awesomeresource

5) I know how to edit the DNS record to send www.awesomeresource.com
to www.blahblah.com, but not to the full needed path www.blahblah.com/~awesomeresource

So there is the problem ... how to make www.awesomeresource.com go
directly to www.blahblah.com/~awesomeresource

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,

Eric Curts

You need to configure a Virtual Host to handle the domain, then in the
body of the virtual host you just put a
Redirect Permanent / http://www.blahblah/~awesomeresource

See the documentation about virtual host.

if you want the url to still read www.awesomeresource.com then your
virtualhost should have a different document root from www.blahblah.com,
one which points to the directory that holds the awesomeresource job
done, in the same way that you set up bb.com to serve files on the
computer, you now set up ar.com to serve files, each with its own doc
root.
