Content Migration - Redirect URL with same hostname

Hi All,

 

We are migrating content from one server to other server with below requirement.

1. We have two sites:

www.sitea.com/home/<pagename>.html

www.siteb.com/store/<pagename>.html

 

Content structure on Server A :  /content/siteA/home/*

Site name is :   www.sitea.com/home/abc.html

 

Content structure on Server B :  /content/siteB/store/*

 

Now we are planning to move some of the content  pages from Server A  "/content/siteA/home/*"  to Server B under store "/content/siteB/store/*". but we want to keep the url is same.

 

For example: we have page called 'abc' under /content/siteA/home/abc on Server A and this 'abc' page will be moved to server B under '/content/siteB/store/abc' 

Current URL of page is ' www.sitea.com/home/abc.html' so we want to keep the url remains same even though we move the page to Server B. Is this possible by writing some dispatcher rules? Please advise.

Hello @sivas13911460,

You can use either the RewriteRule directive with the P flag (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html#flag_p) or the ProxyPass directive (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass).
The ProxyPass, however, is preferable from the performance point of view. 

Regards

    Hi Andrei,

     

    I've added below in my virtual hosts:
    ProxyPreserveHost Off
    ProxyPass "/store/" "www.siteb.com/home/"
    ProxyPassReverse "/store/" "www.siteb.com/home/"

     

    and when i hit the page : www.sitea.com/store/abc.html  it says:

    Service Temporarily Unavailable

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

    Hi @sivas13911460,

    The exact path should be used with the ProxyPass:

     

    ProxyPass "/store/abc.html" "http://www.siteb.com/home/abc.html"

     


    Alternatively, if a regex is required, then the ProxyPassMatch directive should be considered https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassmatch
