[[!meta title="Mixing redirects and rewrites with lighttpd and Plone"]]
|
|
|
|
## The situation
|
|
|
|
As you may already know,
|
|
[[I am|blog/restart-to-write-news]]
|
|
[[migrating|blog/migration-1-configs]]
|
|
[[many of|migration-2-freebsd-raid-monitoring-foss]]
|
|
[[my websites|migration-3-ccollect]] into this one.
|
|
|
|
Today I also began to redirect stuff from my
|
|
previous personal website, http://nico.schottelius.org.
|
|
I am (still) running [Plone](http://www.plone.org) on that
|
|
site, behind [lighttpd](http://www.lighttpd.net/). The
|
|
configuration of lighttpd looks like this:
|
|
|
|
$HTTP["host"] =~ "^(nico|nico2)\.schottelius\.org$" {
|
|
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(.*)" => "/VirtualHostBase/http/nico.schottelius.org/cms/VirtualHostRoot/$1" )
|
|
|
|
var.logdir = "/home/server/www/nico/nico.schottelius.org/logs/"
|
|
accesslog.filename = logdir + "access.log"
|
|
|
|
proxy.server = ( "" => (
|
|
( "host" => "192.168.6.2", "port" => 8082 ),
|
|
( "host" => "192.168.6.2", "port" => 8083 )
|
|
))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
([[a more detailled version can be found here|configs/lighttpd-zope-http-and-https]])
|
|
|
|
|
|
## The idea
|
|
|
|
Now I created a new [[about page here|about]] and want to redirect
|
|
the old URLs **"^/ueber/nico-schottelius$"** and **"^/about/nico-schottelius$"**
|
|
from the Plone site to it.
|
|
|
|
First I tried the normal redirect like this:
|
|
|
|
url.redirect = ( "^/ueber/nico-schottelius$" => "http://www.nico.schottelius.org/about/",
|
|
"^/about/nico-schottelius$" => "http://www.nico.schottelius.org/about/" )
|
|
|
|
## The solution
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this did not work. You may already have spotted the bug...
|
|
The correct way to redirect pages from lighttpd in front of
|
|
[Zope](http://www.zope.org), which does ***rewriting*** is to match on the
|
|
**rewritten** path! Thus, the following code does the
|
|
[correct redirect](http://nico.schottelius.org/about/nico-schottelius):
|
|
|
|
url.redirect = (
|
|
"^/VirtualHostBase/http/nico.schottelius.org/cms/VirtualHostRoot/ueber/nico-schottelius$"
|
|
=> "http://www.nico.schottelius.org/about/",
|
|
"^/VirtualHostBase/http/nico.schottelius.org/cms/VirtualHostRoot/about/nico-schottelius$"
|
|
=> "http://www.nico.schottelius.org/about/"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
You can use [curl](http://curl.haxx.se) to verify the redirect:
|
|
|
|
[22:54] ikn% curl -i http://nico.schottelius.org/about/nico-schottelius
|
|
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
|
|
Location: http://www.nico.schottelius.org/about/
