Redirect omits subdirectory

[adigitalthing]

Local installation, Symphony 2.2.5, URL Router 1.3

Server document root: http://localhost:8080/
Website document root: http://localhost:8080/website

Goal: Redirect from site's index page to the same page with an added required default parameter (data source attached to page filtering entries on required parameter).

Redirect rule: from: ^$^ to: /default-parameter/

Accessing http://localhost:8080/website/ redirects to http://localhost:8080/default-parameter/, instead of http://localhost:8080/website/default-parameter/.

Accessing http://localhost:8080/website/parameter-that-should-throw-404/ redirects to http://localhost:8080/parameter-that-should-throw-404//default-parameter/, instead of throwing an 404 error since no entries are returned by the data source.

First off, I couldn't get my head around the No ending delimiter '^' found that you were getting, until this morning.

I forgot to mention that all of the redirects are Regex as used in the preg functions of PHP, so need delimiting, like so:

/^$/

Above would be the example I mentioned on the forum. Only the from pattern needs this delimiting.

As for the redirecting to DOCUMENT_ROOT rather than the Symphony root, that definitely sounds like an URL Router problem. I'll look into that as soon as I can ;o)

Fixing the delimited regex string should solve the second redirect problem, hopefully.

Thank you, John!

First I changed the rule from: /^$/ to: /default-parameter/ and it behaved correctly as to whether it should throw a 404.

I thought that delimiting for the to field is required, that's why I used /default-parameter/, but since you mention that only the form needs it, I changed again to from: /^$/ to: default-parameter and everything works perfectly.

I am so grateful, thank you for looking into this and I apologize for my ignorance on the matter!
