Content Migration - Redirect URL with same hostname

Question

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.

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.
