url rewrite question

[cdeardor]

Hi all. I'm running apache 2.0 on Suse Linux and have a question on rewriting url's. I have a domain,

http://www.mycompany.com.

I also own the .org and .net suffixes. All domains share the same ip. The problem is, when someone comes to

http://www.mydomain.org

or .net, it shows up in my logs with whichever suffix they go to. How could I set it up so that when someone goes to

http://www.mycompany.org

or

http://www.mycompany.net.

it all ends up (in my logs and in the address bar of the browser) as

http://www.mydomain.com?

Use mod_rewrite in Apache. Make sure you're Apache is built with mod_rewrite (--enable-module=rewrite).

Here's the Apache guide to using mod_rewrite:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

Once the engineer has replaced the SCSI controllers on my HP box, I might get some examples.

That looks like exactly what I need. (Looks pretty complex alright.) Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Good luck with you HP box!

Had a look at how I do it and it's much easier than mod_rewrite. You can use Redirect for this. I was getting confused with rewrite, cause that what you asked for and I use it, but somewhere else.

So, in your httpd.conf you want something like this:
<VirtualHost your.ip.goes.here>
ServerName

http://www.yourcompany.org

Redirect permanent /

http://www.yourcompany.com/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost your.ip.goes.here>
ServerName

http://www.yourcompany.net

Redirect permanent /

http://www.yourcompany.com/

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost your.ip.goes.here>
ServerName

http://www.yourcompany.com

.... all your normal stuff ....
</VirtualHost>

This works 100% for me.

Oh great. That seems to work. That was much easier than all of the examples I've seen! You've been a great help. Thank you very much!
