redirect x.com to y.com

Question

I did a redirect in the httpd.conf file

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName y.com *.y.com
    Redirect permanent / http://x.com/
</VirtualHost>

and restarted, but the redirect does not work. The ip address for both domains are the same.

All help appreciated

Thanks Jean

Your ServerName directive is incorrect. Add *.y.com with ServerAlias instead.

ServerName *.y.com Redirect permanent / http://x.com/ so this would be the correct format? – Jean Oct 31 '10 at 11:03
No. Read the linked documentation about `ServerName` and `ServerAlias`. You cannot use wildcards with `ServerName`. – joschi Oct 31 '10 at 11:53

to make it clearer what joschi meant:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName y.com
    ServerAlias *.y.com
    Redirect permanent / http://x.com/
</VirtualHost>
