Since my customers hosting providers domain cpanel doesnt have the possibility to create subdomains, I've been trying to figure out how to mirror a subfolder from my htdocs to my root www folder within my .htaccess.
Root: /domains/{domain.com}/htdocs/www/
Sub: /domains/{domain.com}/htdocs/beta/
I need to keep the subdomain {beta.domain.com} intact to let everything work as planned. So when a customer visits {www.domain.com} or {beta.domain.com} he needs to see exact the same site with the domain kept intact.
DOCUMENT_ROOT is '/etc/apache2/htdocs'
Hope someone can help me out.
This this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^beta\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /www/index.php [L]
At this moment I am helping him.
The hosting provider sucks but i can try to make it a little bit more clear.
The hosting provider build a difficult map structure but if got it, it is the following:
htdocs
domainname ----> SYMBOLIC LINK TO WWW
www
stats
If i want to add an subdomain they build the system as follow,
In the htdocs dir we should make a new map lets call it users.
We make a dir and the directory structure is as follow:
htdocs
domainname ----> SYMBOLIC LINK TO WWW
www
stats
users
Now if we go to: users.domainname.ext we will get directed to the directory users.
Note: This is the only way it's possible to make subdomains at the hosting provider.
Now what i did is add the following .htaccess file in the directory users.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.domainname.ext/ [L]
This will redirect to: www.domainname.ext
Now i added in the .htaccess of the www dir the follow:
# mod-rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^users\.domainname\.ext$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
The problem is that the subdomain will redirect to the new domain, and what he want's is that url bar shows: users.domainname.ext instead of www.domainname.ext
Note: My .htaccess knowledge aint much but this is as far as i can get. So i bet i have things wrong :p in it but with this i came the farest haha.
Note 2: The part below is used for Zend Framework to work properly!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

After redirecting my client domain to my server i created rewrite rule in root folder .htaccess file to point domain to a subfolder1 (joomla website):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Everything worked fine but today i found out that i can access any other subfolder in my server by entering for example: myclientdomain.com/subfolder2 and what's worse google can index that and show it in search results.
If there is any way to redirect a domain in a way that I won't be able to access any other folder on my server?
I would really appreciate help as I searched throughout google for answer, my server tech support said that they don't really support these kind of problems (they only gave me a piece of code from above) and I don't really know anything about .htaccess rules and how it works.
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder\/?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Change above rule to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
# if current URI is not starting with /subfolder/ then route to /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^((?!subfolder1/).*)$ subfolder1/$1 [L,NC]
I want my domain without www always displayed, ie the URL is valid: http://miweb.net And besides this domain to point to a subdirectory and not the root directory.
How I can indicate in the htacess both conditions?
You may want to take a look at VirtualHost.
Assuming you are using Apache, this will allow you to redirect URLs with www or other sub-domains to different folders on the server.
I think I've found the solution. Apparently it works:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?myweb.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myweb/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myweb/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.myweb\.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/myweb\.net\/" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ myweb/index.html [L]
If you access from a browser http://www.myweb.net, we automatically redirected to http://myweb.net (no www).
And that domain no longer points to the root directory of hosting "/ www /" if not "/ www / myweb /".
I have a setup where I have a couple of sites hosted in different subfolders in the root of my FTP
ROOT
-site1folder
-site2folder
I have 2 domain names not associated with the account. I have changed the DNS records of the domains to point to my hosting account but I need the 2 different URLs to go to the correct subfolder to load the correct site rather than transfer the domains. The domains are
www.site1.com
www.site2.com
Ideally I would like site1 to load the contents of the site1folder and the same for site 2 and its corresponding folder.
I currently have a .htaccess file in my root which I have mashed together from looking at different posts. I am a newbie to .htaccess. I am currently trying to get site 1 to point to the site1 folder

#Turns the rewrite engine on.
RewriteEngine on
#Fix missing trailing slash character on folders.
RewriteRule ^([^.?]+[^.?/])$ $1/ [R,L]
RewriteBase /website1
#www.site1.co.uk and site1.co.uk will map to the folder
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?:www\.)?site1\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) /site1 [NC,L,NS]
What happens when I load this is I get the contents of the site1 folder but at this URL site1.co.uk/site1
I don't want the URL to change at all. I just want it to load the contents of the subfolder it is pointed to.
Ok people I managed to solve this one myself in the end after lots of head banging and reading a lot of the docs to decyfer others code. Here is what I did...

RewriteEngine on
#========================================================================
# FIRST Handle the http requests first before removing the additional url junk

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site1.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ site1folder/index.php
#rule for site2 url rewrite to remove /site2foler/index.php from the URL. Again its the same as above just with the site2 URL and sub folder info.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site2.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ site2folder/index.php
Hopefully you can see where the repetition is in this so if you wished to add more sites down the line to it you could by copying and pasting the data and changing the site URL and sub folder to match the additional ones you wish to add.
I hope this has managed to help some of you. Also if you can see issues with this then it would be very much appreciated as I am a newbie at .htaccess files and as you can imagine, I figured as it works, it must be right.
I have used this in a Dedicated Windows Server using xampp. It works fine to me with SSL
# mydoamin.com starts ############################
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydoamin.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
# mydoamin.com ends ############################
# mydoamin.in starts ############################
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydoamin.in$
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
#RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

I have a cakePHP app working at http://domain1.com/domain2, and want to point http://domain2.com/ to this application.
I have done this change the document root of domain2 to public_html/domain2, but, when I go to: domain2.com all css, javascript and images are not loaded, with a message saying controller not found.
What I can do?
All domains have a folder with their domains without the TLD at domain1.com, I think if I create a htaccess and get the domain without TLD, and finally change rewriteBase, will work as expected, but don't know how to do this.
Current htaccess of domain2:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
You can try adding an htaccess file in domain2's document root with the following rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(css|js|png|jpe?g|gif|bmp|ico)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?domain2/(.*) /$1 [L,PT]
This should remove the domain2 part of the links.
I have a bunch of domains which points to the same directory "public_html" on my host.
There is a .htaccess file in the main folder that locally redirects each domain to a particular folder with the same name as %{HTTP_HOST} mod_rewrite variable. (eg: redirect www.domain.com to public_html/www.domain.com/)
This is the content of the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond /%{HTTP_HOST}/#%{REQUEST_URI} !^([^#]+)#\1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L]
I'm having a problem when it comes to the Directory Slash directive.
If I try to access a folder in the domain url without the forward slash like http://www.domain.com/folder, the mod_dir applies the DirectorySlash and externally redirects my request to http://www.domain.com/www.domain.com/folder/
I tried applying a 301 redirect AFTER the domain directory redirect like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ [R=301,L]
But for this to work, I would have to be able to check if the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} exists inside the %{HTTP_HOST} 'folder'. I even tried the following, for no success:
RewriteCond /%{HTTP_HOST}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ [R=301,L]
How can I check, Dynamically, if the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is a directory, which would be inside a directory with the same name as %{HTTP_HOST}?
Thanks in advance
If you work with -d you need to provide an absolute filesystem path. So try this:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ [R=301,L]
