ISAPI Rewrite Syntax

[jbrandt Profile]

Can someone help me with the syntax to accomplish the following, I'm in a time crunch and need to get this working asap:)

Current URL is xyz.com/folder

I need to keep the URL xyz.com/folder but forward to an IP address such as 200.14.32.3/folder. Please help:)

Hello,

It's called proxying.
You'd need:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^xyz\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder$ http:\\200.14.32.3/folder [NC,P,L]

This is what I came up with and I placed in in the online-graduate-degree directory. Is this correct? I'm getting a Directory Listing Denied but I should be getting a login screen since I checked the IP address URL. Am I doing something incorrectly.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^harrisburgu\.edu$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^online-graduate-degrees$ http:\\166.78.104.118/online-graduate-degree [NC,P,L]

Maybe the rules simply doesn't work.
Would you, please, enable logging and provide us with rewrite.log with a testing request. Logging issues described in FAQ (http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html)

Andrew, it will not let me attach the log. I have changed the extension to .txt and still won't allow upload. I'm linking to the log from skydrive so you can look at it.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it looks like it goes through each file in the site to try to match the pattern, is this correct? Do I need anything in the local folder such as an index page or should this re-direct (proxy) without anything in the folder.

Here's an extract:

Code: Select all

(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /online-graduate-degrees/
 (1) Htaccess process request C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\httpd.conf
 (3) applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri 'online-graduate-degrees/'
 (4) RewriteCond: input='C:\Inetpub\vhosts\harrisburgu.net\httpdocs\online-graduate-degrees\' pattern='!!-f' => matched
 (4) RewriteCond: input='C:\Inetpub\vhosts\harrisburgu.net\httpdocs\online-graduate-degrees\' pattern='!!-d' => not-matched
 (1) Htaccess process request c:\inetpub\vhosts\harrisburgu.net\httpdocs\online-graduate-degrees\.htaccess
 (3) applying pattern '^online-graduate-degrees$' to uri 'online-graduate-degrees/'

The last lines seems to tell everything. All you need is just '/' at the end.

Technically, not 'each file', but each incoming request. No, you don't anything there.
