copied!<p>I believe I found my issue -- it was with the RewriteRule that redirected to the old site.</p> <p>This is what I had when I posted the question:</p> <pre> <code> # redirect everything to archive.example.com except for a few directories RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/|/static|/blog|/about)$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://archive.example.com/$1 [NC,R=301,L] </code> </pre> <p>...and I rewrote this to:</p> <pre> <code> # redirect everything to archive.example.com except for a few directories RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/static.*$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog.*$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/about.*$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://archive.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NC,R=301,L] </code> </pre> <p>Here's why. </p> <p>First, as you can see, I broke up the single rewrite condition into four separate conditions because this will enable me to cleanly add more directories for exclusion as the new site grows. </p> <p>You will also notice that I added a dot-star after /static, /blog/ and /about so that it will match on any path in those directories and not just the top level.</p> <p>Finally, on the RewriteRule line I removed the leading slash from the pattern and changed the trailing /$1 to %{REQUEST_URI} . I don't need to store any variables from the pattern here -- I just need to change the server name -- so instead of extracting the path from the pattern, I made it more explicit by using the same %{REQUEST_URI} variable that was used on the previous four lines. </p> <p>BTW: One of the reasons this was causing confusion for me at first was because Chrome was sometimes caching the DNS/path info -- doing a Ctrl-F5 to purge the cache will enable you to see your changes. </p>
