So yeah, page not found. Are you doing this on the same machine? Why not use NamedVirtualHosts and have it redirect to http://www.myexample.com ? Is that all of the lines in the configuration? The redirect is done by the app? --
Hi Thanks for the reply. I've learnt a lot today regarding this. I've found out what the problem is the backend server has teh following in its location header: Connection: close Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 12:39:15 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "d25-54-1ccba400" Server: Apache Content-Length: 84 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Last-Modified: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 17:40:32 GMT Client-Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 12:37:43 GMT Client-Peer: 192.168.12.2:8080 Client-Response-Num: 1 <SCRIPT> this.window.location.href="/login" </SCRIPT> So I see the script is telling the browser to redirect to /login. Is there a way in apache to tell it not to send this script through but to append the "/login" to the request i.e become /mail/login? Thanks in advance Dan
