Code Question: How to get apache2 to redirect to a subdirectory

I am running apache2 on debian etch, with multiple virtual hosts.

Should be really simple, but google isn't quite cutting it. I've tried the Redirect and Rewrite stuff and they don't quite seem to do what I want ...

From serverfault Hamish Downer

Feel a bit silly - a bit more googling turned up the answer I was after:
```
RedirectMatch ^/$ /git/
```
Basically redirecting the root, and only the root.

From Hamish Downer
On my own website, I used a 301 redirect by placing the following in index.php in the root directory:
```
<?php
// Permanent redirection
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://git.example.com/git/");
exit();
?>
```
David Zaslavsky : That works, but using PHP just to do a redirect is overkill (and not as efficient as Apache directives).

From Joseph Sturtevant
You've got the correct answer there with the redirect. You have to be careful when redirecting everything to somewhere else, since you can get recursive redirects there. This happens if you want to put up a maintenance page.

From Rory McCann

You can use Redirect directive.

<Directory />
   Redirect permanent / http://git.example.com/git/
   ...
</Directory>
