Rewriting Subdirectories

[smbeans]

I would like to achieve the following:

http://www.mydomain.com - No change
or
http://mydomain.com - No change


http://foo.mydomain.com
to
index.php?option=com_webpage&username=foo

and

http://foo.mydomain.com/page1.htm
to
index.php?option=com_webpage&username=foo&page=1

Any help would be appreciated.

This is hard. Would it start like this?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com [NC]

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.])\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(page([0-9]+)\.htm)?$ /index.php?option=com_webpage&username=%2&page=$2 [L]

Note, that you'll have a page= (empty), if no file was requested

Thanks for your help. Having a blank page parameter is no problem. I'll just code the program to have it go to the main page if the parameter is empty.

Well I've just tested this on my webserver and unfortunately it doesn't work.

I just get sent over to the default website (there are several websites on this server).

BTW Caterham - I've crossed posted this over at Experts-exchange. A chance for someone to up up 500 points.

Well Caterham came through with the answer over at Experts-Exchange. Here is the full solution:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName shire-biz.com
ServerAlias www.shire-biz.com *.shire-biz.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shirebiz
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?shire-biz\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.shire-biz\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(page([0-9]+)\.htm)?$ /index.php?option=com_webpage&username=%2&page=$2 [L]
</VirtualHost>

Thank you for your help.

Hello again,

I discovered I need to add another couple of levels of difficulties to this one.

Firstly I will need to create a sub-domain:

http://forum.shire-biz.com which is to remain unchanged (similar to www).

I also need to make a change to the last line:

RewriteRule ^/(page([0-9]+)\.htm)?$ /index.php?option=com_webpage&username=%2&page=$2 [L]

so that the 'page' part can be changed to anything as represented by 'foo' here:


RewriteRule ^/(foo([0-9]+)\.htm)?$ /index.php?option=com_webpage&username=%2&page=foo_$2 [L]

Thanks
Leonie

ServerAlias www.shire-biz.com *.shire-biz.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shirebiz
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.|forum\.)?shire-biz\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.shire-biz\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([0-9]+)\.htm)?$ /index.php?option=com_webpage&username=%2&page=$2_$3 [L]
</VirtualHost>

Thank you very much! It works a dream.
