(.*) means "any character, 0 or more times". "0 times" here means that it matches an empty string. (Technically, it is an empty string, not null). URL for the home page is "/". (The first line of an HTTP 1.x request will be "GET / HTTP/1.1". By definition of the protocol, there has to be some text between the verb (GET) and the version.) A possible solution that I see is to make the first '/' explicit. adding it both to the regexp and to the replacement string: RewriteRule ^/(.*)/+$ https://linuxsecurity.com/$1 [R=301,L] Alternatively, use '+' instead of '*' (meaning 1 or more times): RewriteRule ^(.+)/+$ https://linuxsecurity.com$1 [R=301,L] Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
