I have a question.
I am trying to setup a TEST, CERT and PROD webspace on my hosting with 1 domain.
The problem is that I am already using subdomains in my webpage so DNS wildcard record configuration is not possible.
The url looks as following on PROD:
company1.domain.com or company2.domain.com
Both pointing to the same directory on the hosting.
What I want to achieve is:
company1.domain.com -> points to directory1
company1.test.domain.com -> points to directory2
company1.cert.domain.com -> points to directory3
"company1" must be a wildcard.
Additionally I would not like to see the directory being displayed in the URL.
Anyone has an idea on how to accomplish this?
Should I remove existing DNS wildcard records?
Ideally, you should be making each of these subdomains into a separate vhost and point each vhost to its own directory. Some hosting companies even allow you to assign subdomains to separate directories.
But if for some reason, they all need to point to the same document root, try adding these rules to the htaccess file in the document root:
RewriteEngine On
# for company1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} company1.domain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /directory1/$1 [L]
# for company1.test
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} company1.test.domain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory2
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /directory2/$1 [L]
# for company1.cert
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} company1.cert.domain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory3
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /directory3/$1 [L]

Through a little research I came up with an htaccess rewrite rule in my development directory that takes a wildcard subdomain to its matching instance name in my development folder. I will admit I know little to nothing about this so help is really needed. So the current htaccess behaves as such:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(\w+)\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}:%1 !^/([^/]+)/([^:]*):\1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [QSA]
example
instance_folder_name.mydomain.com
redirects to
public_html/development/instance_folder_name
this works great because it allows me to have development websites in the development directory and i dont have to be constantly creating subdomains for each site.
the problem I am having is how to approach the following scenerio:
I use virtual domains as an add on component in Joomla so that several domains are being managed by one single Joomla install. So i may have the following subdomains...
client1.mydomain.com
client2.mydomain.com
client3.mydomain.com
that all need to go to
/public_html/development/client1
I guess what i need is a general rule on how to handle all wildcard subdomains, but with exceptions for client1, client2, client3 for example
You can have a separate rules for these 3 subdomains and add an exclusion condition in the older rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(client1|client2|client3)\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?!client1/).*)$ /client1/$1 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(client1|client2|client3)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(\w+)\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}:%1 !^/([^/]+)/([^:]*):\1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
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 ^([^.?]+[^.?/])$ $1/ [R,L]
RewriteBase /website1
#www.site1.co.uk and site1.co.uk will map to the folder
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?:www\.)?site1\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) /site1 [NC,L,NS]
What happens when I load this is I get the contents of the site1 folder but at this URL site1.co.uk/site1
I don't want the URL to change at all. I just want it to load the contents of the subfolder it is pointed to.
Ok people I managed to solve this one myself in the end after lots of head banging and reading a lot of the docs to decyfer others code. Here is what I did...
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#========================================================================
# FIRST Handle the http requests first before removing the additional url junk
#========================================================================
#rule for site1.com to link to site1folder directory
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site1.com$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site1folder/$1
#rule for site2.com to link to site2folder directory. Its the same as above just with site2 URL and subfolder
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site2.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/site2folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site2folder/$1
#==========================================================
# SECOND Remove the additional url junk once the new url is loaded
#==========================================================
#rule for site1 url rewrite to remove /site1foler/index.php from the URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site1.com$
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}
# mydoamin.in ends ############################
I have set up CakePHP on shared hosting, within a sub-directory (cakeDomain). Using htaccess in the root directory (mainDomain), I have pointed another domain to it (cakeDomain), like so:
# /.htaccess
# cakeDomain redirect rules
RedirectMatch 301 ^/cakeDomain/$ http://cakeDomain.com/
# handle domain root and skip subfolders
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} cakeDomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cakeDomain/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cakeDomain/$1 [L]
# add trailing slash to subfolders (eg abc to: abc/)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} cakeDomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [^/]$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
# handle files in subfolders
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} cakeDomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cakeDomain/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cakeDomain/$1/ [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.mainDomain.com/cakeDomain/
RewriteRule %{HTTP_HOST} www.cakeDomain.com [L]
Visiting mainDomain.com/cakeDomain correctly redirects you to cakeDomain.com
CakePHP's files are stored as so:
/cakeDomain/app/...
/cakeDomain/lib/...
/cakeDomain/...
etc.
Visiting cakeDomain.com brings up the correct front page but all of the links have the installed directory prepended to them:
cakeDomain.com/cakeDomain/controller/action/param1
Instead of:
cakeDomain.com/controller/action/param1
Any ideas how to fix this?
Please note, from my many searches, that it appears many people immediately suggest virtual hosts. This is not an option here; my hosting is a virtual host. I presume this solution requires htaccess and/or routing tricks. Thank-you in advance for any help you can provide.
Basically, you're putting website B (Cake) inside the public web directory of website A (Maindomain).
I would REALLY discourage you to do so because this way all 'private' CakePHP directories are also inside your public web directory (for example cakeDomain/app/tmp/logs/error.log). Please check properly if those locations are secured properly
Dou you have access to the directories 'outside' your public webfoot?
Having said that, this may be of help:

What I am trying to do is be able to point something like username.domain.com to index.php?url=username. I have been browsing around Google/StackOveflow and have not been able to find anything that will benefit me.
Best Regards.
Add these rules to the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^ /index.php?url=%1 [L]
The first condition makes sure the requested host isn't www.domain.com or domain.com, the next line matches and groups the subdomain name, and the rule itself rewrites everything to /index.php with a query string url and the subdomain (backreferenced using %1).
I am dealing with following problem:
I have one main domain "example.com" and multiple subdomains:
one.example.com
two.example.com
three.example.com
etc. on server.
I have content for this subdomains in folders:
./one/ -> one.example.com
./two/ -> two.example.com
./three/ -> three.example.com
etc.
So to serve content from these folders to subdomains, I use following htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one.example.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/one/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) /one/$1 [L]
It works fine, but my content for subdomains is also accessable from URL:
one.example.com/one/my-content
such as
one.example.com/my-content
etc. So it is duplicite.
This is one problem I need to solve.
Second is, that content for example.com is accessable from
whatever.example.com
(a.example.com, b.example.com etc.)
so again duplicite.
So my question is: how to redirect/disable URLs that are creating duplicite?
Thanks a lot, I've tried a lot of versions of code, but with no effect.
I solved this issue by redirecting all requests to a subdomain to that folder and all requests to the base domain to another, like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /one$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^two\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /two$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /zero$1
It seems to work, but I'm having my URL modified on the browser too. How do I avoid this from happening?
For your first issue, you can add a rule, that redirects any requests to that folder and withing that directory to a page that does not exists (so that it throuws a 404 error)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^one/
RewriteRule . /notexists.html [L]
For your second issue, this should not happen since when you ask for a.example.com/folder/file.html it gets redirected internaly to a.example.com/a/folder/file.html (there is no way to get the content in the parent directory of 'a' )
