Where To Put Rewrite Code In httpd.conf?

It works only for some sites!

Hello,

After much frustration, I finally go my rewrite rule working in the httpd.conf file.

Here is the code:

<VirtualHost 99.99.99.999>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/site.com"
ServerName www.site.com
ServerAlias site.com
CustomLog logs/www.site.com-access_log combined
# Begin Rewrite Code
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
# if hostname is not blank
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
# and if hostname does not start with "www."
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.
# prepend "www." to hostname and redirect
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ [%{HTTP_HOST}...] [R=301,L]
<Directory "/var/www/html/site.com">
allow from all
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The reason it wasn't working before was I had it outside of the Virtual Host tags I guess.

Anyway, it's working now, but I want it to apply to EVERY site on the server instead of just the site which it resides in the VirtualHost tags.

Where should I put the rewrite code so it works for ALL virtual hosts on the server?

Thanks,

Dan

As long as the "setup" directives Options and RewriteEngine precede the actual RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives, then you can use them in server config, <VirtualHost>, <Directory>, or per-directory .htaccess contexts, as documented in the mod_rewrite documentation.
