Redirect for second Document Root does not work

Redirect second Document Root virtual host

[kodiakz]

Hello,
thats my first post here. I tried to figure out all my self until now, but now I need some advice.

I have set up apache on an ubuntu machine. It runs a web-server for web-email realated stuff, and afterwards I got davical for caldav running on the same.

For the webmail-stuff I got a redirect running from http to https. But it does not work for davical. Access to [domain.de...] does not redirect.

Here is my default config for in sites-available:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 RewriteEngine on
 RedirectMatch ^/mail$ https://domain.de/mail/
 RedirectMatch ^/webmail$ https://domainde/mail/
 RedirectMatch ^domain\.de/mail https://domainde/mail/
 # does not work
 RedirectMatch ^/davical$ https://domainde/davical/
 # does not work
 RedirectMatch ^domain\.de/davical https://domainde/davical/
 
 ReWriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain\.de
 RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://domain.de/$1 [NC,R,L]
 DocumentRoot /var/www/web

 <Directory />
 Options FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride None
 </Directory>
 <Directory /var/www/web>
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 AllowOverride None
 Order allow,deny
 allow from all
 </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
 DocumentRoot /var/www/davical
 DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
 ServerName davical.domain.de

 # does not work
 RedirectMatch ^/davical$ https://domain.de/mail/
 # does not work
 RedirectMatch ^domain\.de/davical https://domain.de/mail/
Alias /images/ /usr/share/davical/htdocs/images/

 <Directory /usr/share/davical/htdocs/>
 AllowOverride None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 </Directory>
 AcceptPathInfo On
 php_value include_path /usr/share/awl/inc
 php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
 php_value register_globals 0
 php_value error_reporting "E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE"
 php_value default_charset "utf-8"

 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>

Any hints to go on?

Cheers,
Marc

For starters, you need to get a solid grip on the difference between mod_alias [httpd.apache.org] (Redirect or RedirectMatch by those names) and mod_rewrite [httpd.apache.org] (RewriteRule, optionally ending in [R=301] flag).

After you have done this, you change all rules using mod_alias into rules using mod_rewrite.

Last time I did this, the OP flew into a rage and declared that if he needed links he could find them for himself. This may or may not be true, but is not likely to foster the spirit of helpfulness.
