I have a very rudimentary knowledge of mod_rewrite. I am trying to move a MediaWiki instance off of an old OSX server to a new Ubuntu host. The old url schema I inherited was fully.qualified.domain:16080/index.php, etc where the new url will just be fully.qualified.domain/index.php. I am aware of the SERVER_PORT conditional statement, but I am not sure how to translate traffic redirected from the original url and strip out the port number. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of hard links to articles on the old url that need to be tracked down over time. Until that happens, we need to perform a more friendly migration strategy.
Examples or documentation links (other than Apache's mod_rewrite docs) would be appreciated.
