Invisibily redirect calchat.net to calchat.net:3000 #22

@meltedxice I took a look at my .htaccess files. Seems like there might be 2 ways to do this. Have you tried them?

1

This is the best bet

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(calttc.)?berkeley.edu$

RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]

2

This probably will not work "invisibly"

Redirect 301 / http://calttc.tumblr.com/

the only thing I tried so far is this:

RewriteRule ^ http://127.0.0.1:3000%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

which redirects ALL requests from calchat.net to 127.0.0.1:3000 but I was getting some problems with the node instance not resolving urls. i didn't put much time into this but the examples you provided might just do the trick.

tried doing some work on this but still no luck. maybe @pingpongboss you can take a stab at it. if not then fuck it, we'll VPS this shit

(not to mention running node and redis-server is against the TOS for dreamhost shared servers so we'll probably get fucked once we receive real traffic to our node server)
