Subdomains as languages

[concepto]

Hello everybody,

I have mydomain.com in /html and subdomains in /html/en.mydomain.com and /html/de.mydomain.com, and they can't point to anywhere else.

Is possible that when I put en.mydomain.com, Apache shows a file from the parent directory (/html)? For example:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^en\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /../index.htm?lang=en

Something like that. Could it be possible? Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Mod_rewrite can't go below the domain/subdomains document root.

You can try this if you have mod_proxy:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEnigne On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^en\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/index.htm?lang=en [P,L]

Or you'll have to use mod_rewrite in combination with a serverside scripting language, do you have PHP? What is the scripting in index.htm?
