Subdomain redirect

[brightstaronline]

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been asked but I honestly can't find it using search...

I want to do the following if it is possible:

When a user goes to http://subdomain.domain.com (with or without "www") for it to load otherdomain.com/data but still keep subdomain.domain.com in the address bar.

subdomain.domain.com >> otherdomain.com/data but with subdomain.domain.com in the address bar - is this possible?

Any help appreciated.

I have this so far:

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} http://subdomain.domain.com/
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} http://www.subdomain.domain.com/
rewriterule (.*) http://otherdomain.com/data/$1 [l,nc]

But otherdomain.com/data appears in the address bar.

You need mod_proxy enabled (for P) as well as mod_rewrite:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://otherdomain.com/data/$1 [P,L]

Thank you for your quick reply, can you tell me or send me to a site that will tell me how to enable mod_proxy.

Thanks in advance.

If you have access to the httpd.conf file you need to uncomment (remove the # from the beginning of) the LoadModule line for mod_proxy (near the top of the file probably).

If you don't have access to the httpd.conf file you will need to ask your host.

It wasn't in there, tried installing following instructions on Apache website for mod_proxy.c and adding it to conf file but have given up.

Thanks anyway.

Do you have other .conf files? It might be in one of those.

OK thanks, I'll check.
