Help,

I've tried to get help regarding this problem in other n/gs, but to no
avail :-(.  Hopefully someone here will be able to help.... 

I'm having real problems trying to get my head round mod_rewrite.

I'm trying to achieve two things;


(1)
my web site can be accessed via several URL's, ie

www.examplesite.co.uk
www.example-site.co.uk
example-site.co.uk

etc..

I want these to be rewritten to one URL - www.examplesite.co.uk

I think I've achieved this by;

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}	!www.examplesite.co.uk
RewriteRule ^.*$	http://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R]


(2)
Now - I wish to have all requests to  www.examplesite.co.uk/ go to my
normal document root, but www.examplesite.co.uk/any-other-text (where
'any-other-text', really is any text at all) redirected to
www.examplesite.co.uk/redirect.

Anything I write seems to put a browser in an endless loop, or try to
access www.examplesite.co.uk/any-other-text.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd personally use

RewriteRule (.*)	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/$1 [R,L]

because it'll then also track GET variables.

Heh, not asking much, are we?

RewriteRule /go		http://www.examplesite.co.uk/ [R,]
RewriteRule /redirect	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/ [R,L]
RewriteRule /(.+)	http://www.examplesite.co.uk/redirect [R]

Should work, although I've not tested it. IMHO, you really need to plan
what exactly you are trying to get your site to do, so you don't need
loads of messy rewrites all over the place (mod_rewrite ain't the
quickest thing on earth, y'know).

Thank you for your input.
I'll try this out in a couple of days.
