I am completely stumped on how to solve a particular problem on Apache 2.2.

 

I have a virtual host for all variations of uiuc.edu for the campus web server redirecting to “Illinois.edu”.  It works great.  Below is some of the virtual host info I am using.

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName uiuc.edu

  ServerAlias www.uiuc.edu www.uiuc.net uiuc.net www.uiuc.org uiuc.org campus.webtools.uiuc.edu

 

        RedirectMatch (/(.*))?$ http://illinois.edu/$2

 

</VirtualHost>

 

 

I then copied the above and modified it so that I could redirect all content going to www.illinois.edu and redirect it to illinois.edu.  This is where the problem resides.  When a user goes to http://www.illinois.edu/index.html they will be redirected to http://illinois.edu/index.html.  Great!  But none of the JavaScript includes on the index web page that start with www.illinois.edu will render.  If the JavaScript include starts with either uiuc.edu or illinois.edu then they render fine.

 

My virtual host for www.illinois.edu looks like:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

  ServerName www.illinois.edu             

  ServerAlias www.illinois.edu              

 

        RedirectMatch (/(.*))?$ http://illinois.edu/$2

 

</VirtualHost>   

 

Any thoughts on how I can resolve this issue?

 

In order to get this to currently work, I put www.illinois.edu in the Server Alias section in the Illinois.edu virtual host.  Now if someone comes to the home page with www.illinois.edu they stay within that domain.  Ideally I would like to redirect them to Illinois.edu. 

 

Thanks,
