Hi guys, I'm using ISPConfig 3 since last year and everything is great. Could someone tell me please how to solve this issue. I installed a Wordpress website in a subdomain, let's say: http://en.domain.com But now I have found that is not a good idea from a SEO point of view, so I want to change that to http://domain.com/en/ I opt for NginX as a web server and already tried some rewrite rules, but I can't figure out how to make all my pages look like http://domain.com/en/tech (tech is just an example), so people can access my website by http://en.domain.com/tech and http://domain.com/en/tech If I use rewrite rules it does redirect but the address changes to http://en.domain.com but that is not what I realy want Is that any alternative to do this on ISPConfig panel or do I have to reinstall the website on a subdirectory?? Thanks any help.
I do this with some of my sites: Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / # # Canonicalize the hostname RewriteCond www.%{HTTP_HOST} ^(www)\.(example\.com) [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^.]+)\.(example\.com) [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.www\.(example\.com) [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(example\.com). [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(example\.com):[0-9]+ RewriteRule (.*) http://%1.%2/$1 [R=301,L] # # If subdomain is NOT www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC] # Extract (required) subdomain to %1 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.example\.com$ # Rewrite if requested URL resolves to existing file or subdirectory in /<subdomain>/ path RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/$1 -f [OR] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/$1 -d RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [L] This reroutes subdomain.example.com to example.com/subdomain. I also make a CNAME entry in the DNS server with a wildcard host * pointing to example.com
Hi kephra, thanks but I use NginX. I ended up buying a new domain, and that's funny because I was struggling 2 months to get some traffic to my subdomain website, now with the new domain there is already 50 hits/day at least in less than a week after the migration. I will never use subdomains again. Or maybe I will, but only if I want to hide something from Google of course..
To have a new directory for a subdomain, yreate a nwe website and enter your subdomain into the domain field. As alternative you can use the vhost subdomain function in ispconfig to create the subdomain in a subdirectory of an existing domain.
I figured this later. But the best solution was migrating everything to a new domain and redirect the old subdomain to this domain. Is great how easy was to alias that.. Once again I do appreciate your time. Many thanks for ISPConfig and your hard work on this community.
