Topic: Redirecting URL of ibay to a subdomain

[Arnaud]

Hello people!
Following situation:
- "my_ibay" can be reached  as a normal way using the URL http://domain.tld/ibay (it isn't the main ibay of the domain)
- this ibay is "protected" by it's password.

The wished situation:
- I would like to "run" this ibay only with the URL http://subdomain.domain.tld
- Users going to http://domain.tld/ibay should get an info to use http://subdomain.domain.tld or be redirected to this URL.
- The protection by an unique password should be further active.

What is working:
Using the contrib smeserver-webapps-common I was able to create the subdomain and to make it working with the files of the ibay:

Code: [Select]

db domains set  subdomain.domain.tld domain Description "my ibay" Content Primary Nameservers internet TemplatePath WebAppVirtualHost DocumentRoot /home/e-smith/files/ibays/my_ibay/html RequireSSL disabled
http://subdomain.domain.tld is now active and works as well as http://domain.tld/ibay

What is missing:
the "disabling" of http://domain.tld/ibay (=info about the new URL or redirection). The parameter "AliasOnPrimary no" as used by web applications would be welcome!!

I tried to write a template as done for the redirection from http to https:

Code: [Select]

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/my_ibay/html>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/my_ibay http://subdomain.domain.tld
</Directory>
but it doesn't work: I get an error 403 "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /subdomain/ on this server."

What is wrong?
What can I do?

Thanks.

Bye
Arnaud
