serverwide complete url rewriting

[jamalahmed]

hi every one,
I am using plesk 8.0.1 on ubuntu 5.10, I have searched high and low in the forums as well as the internet, but the subject of Mod_rewrite eludes me.
I wonder if any of you good people can help

My problem is: I want to use mod_rewrite to redirect all my domain admins to the plesk interface,
for example: if a domain administrator type http://their_domain.tld/plesk, it should get redirected to https://their_domain.tld:8443.

I do not want to do that in a domain by domain basis (i.e editing vhosts.conf file for every domain). I would rather it worked in server wide basis.

so far all I could come up with is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/plesk http://$1:8443


but it does not work.

any help on that matter would be appreciated by me, and most of all, by my domain admins.

thanks in advance

PS. I am doing all the changes in the main apache2.conf file...

RedirectPermanent

Have you tried a redirect entry with mod_alias on your serverwide conf (apache2.conf)?

Something among the lines of:

RedirectPermanent /plesk "https://their_domain.tld:8443/"


http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectperm

just an idea.

thanks for the reply

I understand where you are coming from,
but you see, I have almost 32 domains and I would like to dynamically redirect the domain owners to https://their_domain.tld:8443, (note the bold typeface).

how would you suggest I do that with mod_alias?

I'll have something that works for you shortly.

Needs to be within mod_rewrite not mod_alias.
