Subdomain Mod Rewrite Help

subdomain mod rewrite

[Darren884]

Ok, I got the subdomain mod rewrite code to work, however when I do it, and click on any other links on my page it just goes to the same file... so like if I have a link click.html it goes to the same file. Here is my code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomains\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1!^(www)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule!^index\.html$ board_files/file_index.php?board=%1 [NC,L]

What is wrong? How can I fix it?

Well, you are rewriting any file except /index.html in any subdomain except www to /board_files/file_index.php, and passing the subdomain to that script as a parameter for query variable "board=". So yes, almost all files get rewritten to /board_files/file_index.php

What is it that you really want to do?

I want to make it so it only rewriteds one page, so file_index.php for one page, not all.

[jdMorgan]

Please give us more specifics -- Mod_rewrite requires a precise definitioin of the problem to be solved.

What page do you want to rewrite?

file_index.php

However when I am currently doing it now, it rewrites ALL the files in the folder to that one file. How would I just make it write that file, nothing else? So in the future I could precisely rewrite other files? Thanks

Remove the NOT from your RewriteRule, and specify index.php to be rewritten:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomains\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^(www)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /board_files/file_index.php?board=%1 [NC,L]

Thank you so much Jim! :D

How would I have it though so if its just the subdomain with no file extension after it goes to file_index.php?

[jdMorgan]

RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$

[Darren884]

Thanks again Jim! :D

However now I have it like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1!^(www)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(index\.html)?$ /board_files/file_index.php?board=%1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^login\.html$ /board_files/file_login.php?board=%1 [NC,L]

and rewrites after the index\.html one are not getting the variable board... what could be wrong?

[jdMorgan]

RewriteConds [httpd.apache.org] and the back-references they create have scope only for the single RewriteRule which follows them. If you need to condition the second rule, then copy the RewriteConds from the first rule.

Jim

[Darren884]

? I dont quite understand what you mean...

[jdMorgan]

In the code posted in message #9 above, the RewriteConds only affect the first rule.

If you want to apply those conditions to the second rule, you will have to copy the RewriteConds from the first rule, and place them ahead of the second rule.

Ah ok, I see. Thanks again Jim :D.
