Subdomain, redirect ;) little help pls

[redpicasso]

Hi all,
1st sorry for the title i didn't know how to name the topic
I've read almost all topics in the forum, but my english is not very good, so i need some help.
With simple words i want subdomains, now i'm using this code:

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.redpicasso\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.redpicasso\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.redpicasso.com/home/%1 [QSA,L]

It works fine, but the only problem is that:
when someone uses www.alex.redpicasso.com or http://alex.redpicasso.com it redirects to www.redpicasso.com/home/alex/
thats ok but it changes the address to www.redpicasso.com/home/alex/ and i don't want that...
For example when i use:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost 85.130.66.38:80>
ServerName www.redpicasso.com
ServerAlias alex.redpicasso.com www.alex.redpicasso.com
DocumentRoot C:/home/alex
</VirtualHost>

the result is exactly what i want, the address is alex.redpicasso.com and it doesen't change to www.redpicasso.com/home/alex/ even the user is in www.redpicasso.com/home/alex/music/ or something like this the address remains www.alex.redpicasso.com/music/

How can i do this with mod_rewrite?

You need all the sub domains to go to the main document root, then you can use this

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.redpicasso\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.redpicasso\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/home/%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.redpicasso\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^\.]+)\.redpicasso\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/%2/$1 [QSA,L]

All the subdomains to the main document root...you mean this:
*.redpicasso.com A 85.130.66.38
redpicasso.com A 85.130.66.38

Now I get 404 Error but i'll think how to fix it
