Apache URL redirect within same domain

Question

I have a site with URL abc.com. Now what I want is whenever that URL is being hit in browser it should redirect to www.abc.com/index.jsp. How this can be done using apache ?

Here's what I have done:

VirtualHost *:80>

 ProxyRequests off ProxyPreserveHost On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel error <Location /> Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AuthType basic AuthName "private area" AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/conf/.htpasswd" Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost> 

Answer 1

add this in your .htaccess in the root of the page

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

EDIT:

can also use this at the end of your vhost file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
