Redirection of the links in the page using Apache

[grapeseed]

I am trying to do URL redirection like this using Apache on CentOS:

w w w.newURL.com/somequery

To display the content of the page

w w w.oldURL.com/somequery

Except that all of the links in that page like:

<a href="

http://w

w w.oldURL.com/somethingfoo...">

To be rewritten or redirected to:

<a href="

http://w

w w.newURL.com/somethingfoo...">


But, when the old adress is accessed

w w w.oldURL.com/page.jsp

those links in the page should not be changed.


Can someone tell me step by step all the things I need to do, because I'm a beginner in Apache configuration.

Hi

Have you tried the [tt]Redirect[/tt] and/or [tt]RedirectMatch[/tt] directive ?

Thanks, I havent, I'll get into it.

I want this redirection of links in the page to happen only when w w w.newURL.com/somequery is accessed, but not to happen with the old w w w.oldURL.com/somequery.

Use relative URLs in the links NOT absolute URLs.

Thanks Hirst.

Ive tried RedirectMatch, but it must be conditional, to redirect/rewrite links <a href = oldURL.com/...> to <a href = newURL.com/...> only if the domain of the page is newURL
