mod_rewrite and co-domain

Hi all

I created co-domains www.codomain.com and codomain.com under maindomain.com. I created subdirectory codomain_dir under maindomain's web direcotry with codomain content. But if I tried put to .htaccess this directive:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^codomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) codomain_dir/$1 [L,QSA]

I supposed when I use URL codomain.com I get directly content of codomain_dir directory without codomain_dir name .. but id doesn't. I get error 500 only

I searched on this forum and on apache docs for solutions but any of founded sugestions give me error 500 or do nothing ..

Any ideas?

Thanx a lot .. SupuS

 

Hi Till

Thank you for hint .. with the error log file I found a solution .. and here it is..

Code:

# for adding www - not necessary
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^subdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.subdomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

# main part .. for subdomain redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^[url]www.subdomain.com[/url]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subdomain/
RewriteRule (.*) subdomain/$1 [L,QSA]

I hope this helps somebody ..

SupuS

 

My main domain is vagito.org

I've created a codomain called webmail -> forwarding to folder webmail

I've put this directive on the main page:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^webmail.vagito.org
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !webmail/
RewriteRule (.*) webmail/$1 [L,QSA]

But I get an error 400 bad request. Do you have any hint for my problem?

 

Look at logs in www.vagito.org/log/error.log .. you can put directive to your httpd.conf for switching debug on .. may be it helps

and remember .. with setting which you use webmail directory have to be directly under web directory ..

 

my webmail is under web directory, I don't know why it doesn't work. And in error log I cannot find anything...

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /path/to/webroot_directory

?

 

I've tried again with another domain

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Create www.netsolutionsvenice.com (DNS Entry checked)
2. Create co-domain webmail.netsolutionsvenice.com (on forward tab I've put webmail , without any slash)
3. I've created the folder webmail inside /var/www/web8/web/
4. Put that code on Apache directives:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^webmail.netsolutionsvenice.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !webmail/
RewriteRule (.*) webmail/$1 [L,QSA]

Here are the results:

If you go to http://webmail.netsolutionsvenice.com you'll receive this one:

And here are the ls -la of /var/www/web8

Just a quick note :

Code:

# for adding www - not necessary
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^subdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.subdomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

Can cause problems due to the "/$1" which means it will add the slash whether it is needed or not. I find it works better simply as "http://www.subdomain.com$1"
