Is it possible to rewrite apache rules in httpd.conf

Question

How to create a simple apache rewrite rule to rewrite:

http://domain.com/vanity at http://domain.com/foo/ p>

You can also rewrite the rules in httpd.conf or should they go into the .htaccess file?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Put this on your <virtualhost> website.

 RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/vanity$ /foo/ [L] 

[L] will silently redirect, so the user will still see / vanity in the url. You can use [R] to force redirection.

Answer 2

For httpd.conf, wrap the "Directory" tags around the rewrite rules. There is no need for .htaccess. It is generally safer to host them in your httpd.conf, so this is what I do.

Answer 3

They go to httpd.conf . Check doc
