[CODE4LIB] Apache URL redirect
Hi - I'm new to Apache and hope that someone out there might be able to help me with a configuration issue over at San Jose Public Library. I need to have the URL www.partnersinreading.org redirect to http://www.sjpl.org/par Right now if you go to www.partnersinreading.org it takes you to the root, sjpl.org and then if you navigate through the site all the urls are rewritten with partnersinreading as the root. That's no good. I went into Apache's httpd.conf file and added in the mod_alias area: Redirect permanent http://www.partnersinreading.org/ http://www.sjpl.org/par I'm assuming this is not a DNS issue... This isn't the right approach. Any input would be appreciated, its rather unnerving to have no experience with this and be expected to make it work. -- Nate Hill nathanielh...@gmail.com http://www.natehill.net
Re: [CODE4LIB] Apache URL redirect
Redirect does not look the hostname, just the path
I think you have two options;
1) set up a named based virtual host for www.partnersinreading.org
In that name based virtual host, set up your Redirect /
http://www.sjpl.org/par
2) if you are using mod_rewrite, you could do something like this.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*partnersinreading\.org$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.sjpl.org/par$1 [R,NE]
hope that helps,

I went into Apache's httpd.conf file and added in the mod_alias area:
Redirect permanent http://www.partnersinreading.org/ http://www.sjpl.org/par
But the argument to match for redirecting is the local path, not the URL, so
you'll
have to either do some environmental matching, or put it in a virtual host block
I'm used to mod_rewrite, so I'd probably do something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.partnersinreading\.org$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.sjpl.org/par/$1 [L,R=301]
(that assumes that you've replicated the directory structure on the new site)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Apache URL redirect
Thank you for your responses...
Virtual host setup was also on the agenda, guess both things have to happen
at the same time.
With any luck I'll have this sorted out soon.

You don't have to set up virtual hosts with the method that both Brian and I mentioned, although the syntax is a little more confusing for people who might not be used to mod_rewrite. You only need virtual hosts if you want your method (Redirect) to work: NameVirtualHost * VirtualHost * ServerName www.partnersinreading.org DocumentRoot /set/to/point/somewhere/ Redirect permanent / http://www.sjpl.org/par /VirtualHost -Joe
[CODE4LIB] Job Opportunity: Linked Data/Semantic Web developer for digital format registry
We are seeking a semantic web developer for an open-source digital format registry. The Unified Digital Format Registry project (UDFR, http://www.udfr.org/) is developing a reliable, sustainable, and publicly available semantic knowledge base of file format representation information for use by the international digital curation, preservation, and repository communities. The project seeks to consolidate the function and data holdings of the existing PRONOM (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM) and GDFR (Global Digital Format Registry, http://www.gdfr.info/) registries into a common, community-supported, open source platform supporting linked data. If you or someone you know is interested in applying, please apply through this link: https://jobs.ucop.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=53751 This position is with the California Digital Library, located in the Uptown district of Oakland, California. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me off-list. Thanks! Lisa - The ever-increasing applicability of digital content in all aspects of research, learning, commerce, and entertainment is paralleled by the need for effective solutions to ensure the long-term preservation and use of that content. Properly managing information about the digital formats used to represent content lies at the heart of preservation activities. The Unified Digital Format Registry project (UDFR, http://www.udfr.org/) is developing a reliable, sustainable, and publicly available semantic knowledge base of file format representation information for use by the international digital curation, preservation, and repository communities. Oversight for the project rests with a group of stakeholders drawn from academic and national libraries and archives around the world, including the University of California, Harvard University, the Florida Center for Library Automation, the Library of Congress, Library and Archives Canada, the British Library, the UK and US National Archives, the Koniklijke Bibliotheek and Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands, and many others. The project is funded by the Library of Congress as part of its National Digital Information Infrastructure Preservation Program. The incumbent will be responsible for implementing the UDFR system, and is expected to provide innovative thinking and technical expertise while drawing on the body of useful experience from the PRONOM and GDFR projects and the UDFR consortium. The developer will consult regularly with UC3 staff and will work under the supervision of the project architect. The final open source system must be flexible, scalable, reliable, sustainable, and consistent with best practices and advances in web-based information services, service-oriented architectures, information preservation, and semantic web and linked data technologies. The UC Curation Center (UC3) at the California Digital Library (CDL) is one of the world's premier digital curation programs. UC3 is a creative partnership of the CDL, the ten campuses of the University of California, and the international curation community, providing innovative services and solutions to ensure the long-term usability of the University's valuable digital content.
