My former university, SPSU, was "consolidated" into Kennesaw State University. I used to have the domain bbrown.spsu.edu. As a temporary fix, bbrown.kennesaw.edu was set up by University IT. However, the permanent home for my web pages should be ksuweb/faculty/rbrow211. I have administrative control of the server with the two "bbrown" domains. I've put the following into httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bbrown.spsu.edu
ServerAlias bbrown.spsu.edu RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ksuweb.kennesaw.edu/faculty/rbrow211%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bbrown.kennesaw.edu
ServerAlias bbrown.kennesaw.edu RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ksuweb.kennesaw.edu/faculty/rbrow211%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>


These two URLs behave as I expect, and redirect to the proper internal page on ksuweb: bbrown.spsu.edu/misc/university_success.html http://bbrown.kennesaw.edu/misc/university_success.html

However the first one of these works and the second does not! It redirects to the index page at the top level, i.e. to ksuweb.kennesaw.edu/faculty/rbrow211/ http://bbrown.spsu.edu/it3203/2016_02/lab_7s.html bbrown.kennesaw.edu/it3203/2016_02/lab_7s.html

but these two, with two levels of directory, work as expected: bbrown.spsu.edu/it3123/2016_02/assign_0_classroom.html http://bbrown.kennesaw.edu/it3123/2016_02/assign_0_classroom.html

I am utterly baffled. My question? What have I done wrong?
