How to do mod_rewrite for subdomain?

Mod_Rewrite Subdomain

[Darren884]

How would I make a mod rewrite subdomain like this
ANYSUBDOMAIN.mydomain.com/CHOSEFILE.HTML

Darren884,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Making a rewrite for <some_subdomain>.example.com/anyfile to example.com/subdomain/anyfile is easy. Doing it for <any_subdomain>.example.com/anyfile is easy only if your server is running FreeBSD or some other Unix-type OS that supports POSIX 1003.2 regular-expressions, or if you place the code in httpd.conf, rather than trying to do this in your Web root .htaccess.

See this thread on how to rewrite arbitrary subdomains to subdirectories [webmasterworld.com] for more info on this method.

If your server does not support POSIX 1003.2 regex and you want to implement this in .htaccess, then you'll have to explicity define the valid subdomains and the subdirectories you map them to.

Hi it does support that and I already have wildcard subdomains turned on.

Good, then the code posted in message #6 of the referenced thread will allow you to map any requested subdomain to the subdirectory of the same name. (I have fixed the link, which was apparently broken)
