Apache LocationMatch everything but root - regex

Question

I'm reading that <Location '/'> actually matches the entire domain, not just the root location. I want to create a Location or LocationMatch block that matches everything but http://my.domain.com/ This means it will trigger if any characters follow that final '/
Here is how I will be testing this:
<LocationMatch "REGEX GOES HERE">
AuthType Shibboleth
ShibRequireSession On
Require Shibboleth
</LocationMatch>
I think Shibboleth may change some behavior. Also note I am using Apache 2.2 but a solution that works on 2.4 will suffice as well.

Answer 1

You can use LocationMatch with this regex:
<LocationMatch "^/.">
</LocationMatch>
Single DOT after ^/ will make sure there is at least one character after http://my.domain.com/ hence causing it to not to match landing page.

Testing:
Create this directive as:
<LocationMatch "^/(?<sitename>.+)">
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}?u=%{env:MATCH_SITENAME} [L,R=302]
</LocationMatch>
Now to test I am doing this:
curl -kI -A "Chrome" -L 'http://localhost/index.php'

You can clearly see that www redirection doesn't happen when I request landing page but happens when I request /index.php
