???.domain.com or www.???.domain.com -> ww.domain.com/???

[ledruide]

Hello all,

I would like to transform an URL like :

http://sub.domain.com or http://www.sub.domain.com
into something like http://www.domain.com/sub/

but sub must not be certain values like : mail, www or images and some others...

I wanted to try this kind of rule but before trying I'd like to know if it is correct or not , can you tell me if you think it seems ok or if there is any problem ?

RewriteEngine on

# First rule block to deal with the http://www.sub.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.www\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mail\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.images\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.*)\.domain\.com$

# Second rule to deal with the http://sub.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mail\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^images\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com$

# ok rewrite now
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/%1$1 [P]


Thanx a lot

Better use for .htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?(www|mail|images)\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.domain\.com
# ok rewrite now
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/%2/$1 [P,L]

or per-server context (parts of httpd.conf)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?(www|mail|images)\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.domain\.com
# ok rewrite now
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.domain.com/%2/$1 [P,L]

Thanks a lot this looks really simple, I'm going to dive deeper into regular expressions...

I'll try that tonight (I don't have the access right now...).

Just another simple question : what do you think is better : .htaccess or httpd.conf for this configuration ?

Thanks again

[Caterham]

definitely in httpd.conf (outside of <Directory> or <Location>, so add this in the main server Config section (outside any container) or in a <Virtualhost>-Container)

[ledruide]

Thanks again !

May I ask just a little more ?

What would be the rewriting rule if I have multiples domain on that same request would that rule be correct ?
I don't know what to write instead of the %3 wich is probably incorrect ?

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?(www|mail|images)\.?(domain1|otherdomain|thirddomain)\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.?(domain1|otherdomain|thirddomain)\.com
# ok rewrite now
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.%3.com/%2/$1 [P,L]

Thank you again, this forum is full of great ressources !!

No, this is correct

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?(www|mail|images)\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)\.domain\.com
# ok rewrite now
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/%2/$1 [P,L]

just some lame questions:
- where should I put htaccess with these rules? main domain? I don't want to create ANY directory for new subdomains, as I am going to provide mass blogging website. I need a virtual subdomain rewriting rule I could put "somwhere" to rewrite all the subdomains into domain/?foobar=subdomain. Now, nothing seems to work for me - I get redirected to default apache html - with or withour these rules :/ Rewriting works fine for typical redirects like domain.tld/foobar -> domain.tld/?foobar=1 and so on. Any clues?

- do I need a *.domain.com as domain alias in httpd.conf, if so - any way to override this?

thanx a lot for the patience. If I was too blind to notice these questions answered in some topic, would appreciate the link!
