I’m trying to add mod_rewrite rules in the vhost config but it’s not working.
For the site “mysite.com” I want to redirect “/webmedia/” to the home page .

Here is what I have:

<VirtualHost 192.168.100.142:80>
    ServerAdmin serveradmin@bbgi.com
    DocumentRoot /home/drupal_1
    ServerName mysite.com
    ServerAlias www.mysite.com
    Alias /movies /home/movies/
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.com_err_log
      CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.com_log special
    <Directory /home/drupal_1>
      Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
              AllowOverride All
              DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php

      # Rewrite Rules #####################
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteRule ^/webmedia/(.*) / [R=301,L]
      # end Rewrite Rules #################

    </Directory>
    <Directory /home/movies>
      Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
              AllowOverride All
              DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

    This should work if you have mod_rewrite loaded.

    <Directory /home/drupal_1>
    Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
</Directory>
<Directory /home/movies>
    Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
</Directory>
<VirtualHost 192.168.100.142:80>
    ServerAdmin serveradmin@bbgi.com
    DocumentRoot /home/drupal_1
    ServerName mysite.com
    ServerAlias www.mysite.com
    Alias /movies /home/movies/
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.com_err_log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/mysite.com_log special

    # Rewrite Rules #####################
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/webmedia/(.*) / [R=301,L]
    # end Rewrite Rules #################   
</VirtualHost>
