Yet another Subdomain ReWrite

[dave@swb]

I have a good look at other posts but cannot work out what I need.

I am trying to acheive this

http://www.website.com/ to http://www.website.com/
but with
http://{subDir}/website.com/{page} to http://www.website.com/sub/{page}?dir={subDir}

I am using ?dir= for some PHP code.

I thought I was getting a dab hand at mod_rewrite and write simple urls easily, but this seems to be way out of my depth.

Any ideas??

You need DNS for the sub domains. All the sub domains need to go to your main docuement root (or the /sub directory with a slightly edited mod_rewrite).

In a .htaccess file in your document root

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^/]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sub/$1?dir=%2 [QSA,L]

Thanks for the reply, however we cannot get this to work.

On our server we can use http://test.website.com/ but are also available as http://www.test.website.com/ and http://www.website.com/test/

Does this give anyone else a better idea. Our hosting company is Total Choice Hosting BTW.

Thanks
Dave

The sub domains all have to go to the directory (/your/document/root/a/single/dircectory) containing the .htaccess (/your/document/root/a/single/dircectory/.htaccess) file, so test.domain.com to /your/document/root/a/single/dircectory and abc.domain.com to /your/document/root/a/single/dircectory etc.

If that is not what happens, you will need to ask your hosting company about it.
