AliasMatch

Hello Everyone,

I am runing in to an issue with AliasMatch directive, at this point am
not even sure if i should be using AliasMatch or RedirectMatch. Also to
make matters worse i cant use mod_rewrite or any Rewriting rules. Here
is the issue

i have a url https://test.com/a/login.jsp?group=mytest . i need to
aliasmatch it to
https://test.com/c/d.html

i tried using AliasMatch "/a/login.jsp/?(.*)" "/c/d.html" but dont work

to be more ambitious i tried using Alias instead of AliasMatch this
Alias "/a/login.jsp?group=mytest" "/c/d.html"
still invain

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Well, this is definitely a mod_rewrite issue... why don't you recompile
apache with mod_rewrite?

The query string cannot be handled with mod_alias. So you'll get
/c/d.html?group=mytest.
You must use a full physical path and not a local URLpath on the right side.

The directive should look like this:
AliasMatch ^/a/login\.jsp$ "/var/www/htdocs/c/d.html"

Thank you Robert. That worked.
