Problem detecting empty REQUEST_URI with Apache mod_rewrite

Question

I am running Apache witha redirect rule like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1st-domain\\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://2nd-domain.com$1 [R=permanent,L]
         


        

Answer 1

This should work:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^1st-domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://2nd-domain.com$1 [R=permanent,L]
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://3rd-domain.com
