I have 2 urls say thinkingmonkey.me and thinkingmonkey.com both have ip-address 127.0.0.1 (A.K.A localhost).

I want to redirect any requests to thinkingmonkey.com to thinkingmonkey.me.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    DocumentRoot /mysite
    ServerName thinkingmonkey.me
    ServerAlias www.thinkingmonkey.me
    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
    ServerName thinkingmonkey.com

    Redirect thinkingmonkey.com  http://thinkingmonkey.me/

  #  Redirect / http://thinkingmonkey.me/ #have even tried this

    ServerAlias www.thinkingmonkey.com
    RewriteEngine on
</VirtualHost>

When I try to access thinkingmonkey.com the url does not get redirected to thinkingmonkey.me. The url in the brower’s address bar remains thinkingmonkey.com.

What am I doing wrong?

    mod_rewrite is considered better and more powerful to handle these rewrites. You can use following code:

    Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)?thinkingmonkey\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1thinkingmonkey.me%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

    If you really-really want to use mod_aias you can put this line in VirtualHost section of thinkingmonkey.com:

    Redirect 301 / http://thinkingmonkey.me/
