Image handling on subdomains

[uoitguy]

I would like all my images to be hosted on images.DOMAIN.COM. When requests for images are made on subdomains (e.g. SUB.DOMAIN.COM/image.gif) these should be redirected to the images subdomain with the original subdomain included in the path (e.g. images.DOMAIN.COM/SUB/image.gif). In addition, if there is no subdomain, I would like the path used to be 'main'. Thanks

Why don't you just change the paths in the pages?!

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?DOMAIN$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    ^(.+)\.DOMAIN$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+\.(gif|jpe?g|png))$ http//images.DOMAIN/%1/$1?   [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^(.+\.(gif|jpe?g|png))$ http//images.DOMAIN/main/$1? [R=301,L]

To answer your question of not changing the paths, I would like the images to appear to originate from each subdomain but I would like to manage all images on my site on one subdomain. I have tested the rule you have given me. I found that it produces no errors, but simply a blank page when I request the image. If what I'm doing makes no sense at all, I will just examine a better way to approach this problem. But I thank you once again for your help

Both http//s should be http://.

Thanks richardk, can't believe I didn't notice that one. Works like a charm

I have tried modifying this code slightly so all images are redirected from the images subdirectory. Everything works fine except for when no path is used (e.g. images/test.gif). Then a double slash appears. (http://images.DOMAIN.COM/main//test.gif) Any ideas? Thanks!

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?DOMAIN\.COM$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    ^(.+)\.DOMAIN\.COM$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^images/((.+)/)*(.+\.(gif|jpe?g|png))$ http://images.DOMAIN.COM/%1/$2/$3?   [L]

Try this RewruteRule:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^images(/.+)?(/.+\.(gif|jpe?g|png))$ http://images.DOMAIN.COM/%1$1$2? [L]

EDIT: But if you're going to do that, you could just redirect the whole /images directory:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^images/(.+)$ http://images.DOMAIN.COM/%1/$1? [L]

Thanks richardk. Right again, as usual
