myson.mydomain.com

[Guest]

I want my son's web site to have the url myson.mydomain.com and for it to bring up the directory http://www.mydomain.com/myson. Can mod_rewrite do this? If so, how? Or is there a better way?

Thanks

That really depends on how your hosting company handles subdomains. Most hosting companies (including [url]yohost.com[/url]) will set it up this way when you define the subdomain. If for some reason myson.mydomain.com is currently pointed to your main HTML directory, you can do something like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} myson.mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myson/
RewriteRule ^(.*) myson/$1 [L]
