modifying URL - whitelabeling/VHosts

Question

I have recently implemented white labeling, and after changing my VHOSTS setting I have found that some of the URL is stripped, for example:

<VirtualHost *:8166>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
   DocumentRoot C:\xampp5.2test\htdocs\portal
   ServerName xampp

   <Directory "C:\xampp5.2test\htdocs\portal">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

is configured like this within apache vhosts. However when one writes localhost:8166 in address bar example:

http://localhost:8166/ url is like this and not

http://localhost:8166/portal

Like above, how can I get it to append the full path to the url

thanks.

From your explanation just changing the document root should make it:

<VirtualHost *:8166>
   ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
   DocumentRoot C:\xampp5.2test\htdocs
   ServerName xampp
   RewriteEngine On


   RewriteRule ^/*$ /portal

   <Directory "C:\xampp5.2test\htdocs\portal">
      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
      AllowOverride All
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Hi tried that, however when I type in "localhost:8166", it doesn't append portal: http://localhost:8166/portal/ to the end of it. Rather in the address bar it will be like this: http://localhost:8166/ Thanks. – bobo2000 Dec 22 '11 at 14:49
if you want the / page to redirect you have to specify it, see my edit – RageZ Dec 22 '11 at 14:50
When I do that, it creates a neverending loop. /portalportalportalportal, anyway i can append it only once? – bobo2000 Dec 22 '11 at 15:00
Seems like Vhosts didn't like that, it is not allowing me to restart apache. – bobo2000 Dec 22 '11 at 15:05
does your server have mod-rewrite, it needs to be present. – RageZ Dec 22 '11 at 15:06
Cheers. It was disabled, enabled it. Still not having any luck with the above code. – bobo2000 Dec 22 '11 at 15:13
yep, when I added: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/$ /portal , no luck – bobo2000 Dec 22 '11 at 15:16
