 Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 5:06 pm Post subject: subdomain rewrite problem - semi dynamic |
|
|
Hi
I wonder if anyone can stear me in the right direction with this one?
I have a website with different regions that a user sellects.
What I am trying to do is set up a dynamic subdomain rewite with .htaccess.
My server does support wilcard dns.
For eaxample:
If a user wants the Birmingham page, they would go to:
www.mysite.com/index.php?view=main&cityid=2
(where 2 is the city id for Birmingham)
Ideally i would want the user to go to birgmingham.mysite.com
I have been playing with variations of this that I found in this forum:
| Code: | RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} birmingham\.mysite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /srv/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/index.php?view=main&cityid=1 |
But can't seem to get it to work.
I have about 90 cities to add so I guess i would need to write 90 rules?
Or maybe there is a way i could index the cities and city id numbers?
I'm struggling with this.
If anyone can help?
Many Thanks
M |

Well it's a bit more complicated than this, because you as well need to configure the vhost to allow and manage dynamic subdomains.
A nice way to do it is if you have access to the vhost-alias Apache module. If so you could use something like this in your VHOST :
| Code: | <VirtualHost *>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/$1
</VirtualHost> |
This way sub.example.com would go in www/sub/ where www/ would be example.com (the main domain's root) in your server file-system.
With this you could then play with mod_rewrite to catch the sub domain through the path, (sub/) which does not necessarily need to exist physically (thanks to mod rewrite again), and pass it to the php script you want. |
