Redirecting all users using Mobile devices to a specific URL
To redirect all the incoming requests from mobile devices to a sub-directory or a specific URL in IBM HTTP Server follow below steps:
Open C:\IBM\HTTPServer\conf\httpd.conf file in edit mode.
1. Un-comment following live in the file by removing "#" from the front of the line.
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Enable rewrite engine by adding following line to the end of the file:
RewriteEngine on
3. Add rewrite condition for the detecting mobile devices after the above line using the below example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|ipad|iphone|ipod|iemobile|opera mobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC]
4. Add rewrite rule for redirecting the user to specific URL after the above line using the below example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mobile.example.com/wps/portal [L,R=302]
5. Save the file
6. Restart IBM HTTP Server.
Now all user requests will be redirected to "http://mobile.example.com/wps/portal" sub URL.
