One way you can do this is setup another virtual host at the top of the list of virtual hosts which responds to the default address http://mysite only and includes a permanent redirect to the full address. Redirect / http://mysite.example.org/

I have a box running mediawiki and am now using virtual hosts on it to enable me to have a test version of the site running on port 8080. What is the "proper" way to force visitors to use the full server dns name? So, if I browse to 'http://mysite' the production wiki pops up and 'http://mysite:8080' the test wiki is shown. works great. love it. Now what I want to happen is that when a visitor goes to 'http://mysite' they get redirected to 'http://mysite.example.org' and going to 'http://mysite:8080' takes them to 'http://mysite.example.org:8080'. Basically, I want them to always be using the full canonical host name.

I'm not sure how to setup a redirect like this in Apache2. Any tips would be appreciated.
