iRule to Redirect to certain directory

Try changing your redirect line to simply:

HTTP::uri "/dev/central"

And you may consider aging another clause after interrogating the hostname e.g.

& [HTTP::uri] eq "/"

Hope this helps

If I may add, unless you have multiple host names resolving to the same VIP, you could probably skip the host check and just evaluate an empty URI. Something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {   
    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {       
        HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/dev/central"           
    }       
}    

In the absence of a URI in the browser request (ie. http://sitemame), there is still a URI value, albeit invisible, of "/".

Kevin, your reply worked perfectly. Now, I just need to learn the syntax for iRules and HTTP_REQUESTS ;)

Thanks for your input!
