XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ => www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&a

[kapo]

Hi,
I have been working on this for ages but cannot get it to work.
Basically I am trying to this:

XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ => www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&f=ZZZ

eg site.newdomain.com/foldername/ => www.hostdomain.com/?d=newdomain&s=sitename&f=foldername

'www' in front needs to be handled also. I use proxy redirect as I want the user to still see XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ in their browser.


I am sure this can be done with a simple rewrite statement.
This is where I am at:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)?([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www\.hostdomain\.com/?d=%2&s=%1&f=$1 [P,L]

This does not work... any help is greatly appreciated!!

'www' in front needs to be handled also.

Handled how? Please provide an example.

I use proxy redirect as I want the user to still see XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ in their browser.

Do the domains point to the same server and document root? If they do you won't need to proxy it.

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((.*)\.)?([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%3&s=%2&f=$1 [P,L]

Thanks for you reply, unfortunately that did not work as expected...

www.YYY.com => www.hostdomain.com/?d=com&s=www.YYY&f=

XXX.YYY.com => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=com&s=XXX.YYY&f=

XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=com&s=XXX.YYY&f=ZZZ

I have now come up with the following which 'almost' works:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.([^\.]+)\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%3&s=%2&f=$1 [P,L]

WORKING!

XXX.YYY.com => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&f=
XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&f=ZZZ
www.XXX.YYY.com => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&f=
www.XXX.YYY.com/ZZZ => http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=XXX&f=ZZZ


NOT WORKING...

www.YYY.com or YYY.com

These go to: http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=com&s=YYY&f=
But need to be: http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=YYY&s=&f=

Try:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?()([^\.]+)\.[^\.]+$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.([^\.]+)\.[^\.]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%3&s=%2&f=$1 [P,L]

Hi Richard,

Sorry for the late reply.. I have been on holiday camping in outback Australia! I have an exciting story about a savage goanna... but anyway...

The code still does not work. I get a 404 Page not found error if I don't provide a subdomain?

Using my previous rewrite I could probably write a workaround in the target page to account for the incorrect parameters... but where is the challenge in that!

I will keep on it. If you or anyone else has some other ideas please let me know!

Thanks!

Try:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.[^\.]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%2&s=&f=$1 [P,L]

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.([^\.]+)\.[^\.]+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%3&s=%2&f=$1 [P,L]

No, that does not work.. all sorts of strange things happen.

My simple solution was to use my original rewrite:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.([^\.]+)\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hostdomain.com/?d=%3&s=%2&f=$1 [P,L]

And then just add this in the target file (.php)

Code: Select all

<?php

   // retrieve parameters

   $domain =    $_GET['d'];
   $subdomain = $_GET['s'];
   $folder =    $_GET['f'];
   
   // fix for mod_rewrite when no subdomain provided

   if ($domain=='com') {
      $domain = $subdomain;
      $subdomain = '';
   }

?>

Well, it does the job anyway!


Thanks for your help richardk.
