Need help with apache and redirects

`VL · n00b Joined: 30 Apr 2004 Posts: 71 Location: Russia

I have virtual host www.xxx.com with ServerAlias www.yyy.com.

I also have a forum installed in /forum. I want to have only one address for forum,
for cookies to work normally, users should see only www.yyy.com/forum/

So, i`d like to redirect www.xxx.com/forum/ queries to www.yyy.com/forum/.

Also, i have a trailing slash problem: when someone enters www.yyy.com/forum (without slash)
user redirected to www.xxx.com/forum/ . How do i prevent this?

i know it all looks stupid enough, but i need to do it.. please help

P.S. apache is 1.3.33

First, this post is off-topic (this isn't a gentoo question, but an apache question)

To answer your question, you cannot: not if you want both sites should use the same cookies. Cookies are domain-specific -- a gentoo.org cookie will never be sent to microsoft.com!

As far as the slash problem goes, it _should_ work that way! consider a simple image on the page 'image.jpg' Without the slash, it would be www.yyy.com/image.jpg and with it www.yyy.com/forum/image.jpg
