.htaccess redirection fail Options

[rpizw]

Hi all,

I'm trying to redirect two simple websites and it just doesn't work! I tried for two days and search so much but nothing

I created .htaccess in /var/www/html/ with the following

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^firstexample.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.firstexample.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.firstexample.com/drupal/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^secondexample.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.secondexample.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.secondexample.com/oldwebsite/$1 [R=301,L]


the first time is working but not the second
anyone?

Thanks in advance.

I'm actually not sure if it's necessary, but do you have 'RewriteEngine on' on top of that?

the first time is working but not the second

Do you mean firstexample works but not secondexample? Or do you mean it works the first time you go to that URL but not the second?

sorry about not being clear.

firstexample website work perfectly
second example website never worked. i just see loops in the URL or when I try other things I only get into the root folder from my browser

So
just so I can be clear as possible, below is how I configured it ---> noticed that I removed the "secondexample" website just because it cause some crushes on my server for some reason..

from /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

CODE

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =firstexample.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]

</VirtualHost>

<Directory /var/www/html/>
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
</Directory>

---
From /vart/www/html/.htaccess (which I created)

CODE

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^firstexample.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.firstexample.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://firstexample.com/drupal/$1 [R=301,L]

So something is fishy with secondexample?
