apache2, mod_rewrite and RedirectMatch

[Marc Aymerich <glicerinu@gmail.com>]

Hi!! 

I have an apache2.15 with a lot of redirections using redirect and redirectmatch directives. Today I write some mod_rewrite rules (because I need some conditional redirections). I put this new rewrite directives after my old redirect and redirectmatch rules, just at the end of the virtualhost definition, because I expect that apache execute first my old definitions, and then my new rewrite rules. But apache execute the mod_rewrite rules in the first place! 

An example:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName myvirtualhost.com

 [...]

Redirect /lollipop http://lollipop.com

 [...]

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule /lollipop http://example.org

</VirtualHost>

     

myvirtualhost.com/lollipop is redirected to http://example.org !! 

There are any way to change this behavior?

Thanks a lot!

Marc
