Help to internal subdomain redirect

http://sub.example.com/ should take content from http://example.com/sub/

[wanze]

Hi,

I've for a long time been trying to make my .htaccess to fit my needs, but seems unfortunately impossible.

I want it to:

• Externally redirect [example.com...] to [example.com...]
  
• Internally redirect [example.com...] to /www/.
  
• Internally redirect ex. [sub.example.com...] to /sub/ (sub is just an example, I want ALL subdomains to be redirected.)
  

What I've come up with is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteCond $1!^www/
RewriteRule ^(.*) www/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<>%{REQUEST_URI} ^([^.]+)\.example\.com(:80)?<>/([^/]*) [NC]
RewriteCond %1<>%3!^(.*)<>\1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

But that doesn't work exactly as I want, because:

• If the folder named "hello" doesn't exist, when I go to [sub.example.com...] (without trailing slash), it externally redirects me to [sub.example.com...] and gives me an the error it's supposed to.
  - I don't want it to redirect me.
  
• http://hello.hello.example.com/ (2 subdomains) shows me the /, which should not be able to be shown, because of my redirects.
  - I want it to show me /hello.hello/.
  
• If I go to [hello.example.com...] it takes the content from /hello/.
  - I want it to try to access /hello/hello/.
  
• When I go to [example.com...] it takes the content from /hello/ (or what also is [example.com...]
  - I want it to take the content from /hello/ and not /www/hello/.
  

I've been reading a lot in the documentation, but still can't get it working. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Add a RewriteCond based on the -d flag and {REQUEST_FILENAME}, or add a rule to add a trailing slash to all requests which do not contain a filetype in the last URL-path element.

http://hello.hello.example.com/ (2 subdomains) shows me the /, which should not be able to be shown, because of my redirects. - I want it to show me /hello.hello/.

You RewriteCond is designed to "find" the end of the subdomain based upon the "." (full stop) character. You won't be able to handle multiple subdomain levels using that method.

If I go to [hello.example.com...] it takes the content from /hello/. - I want it to try to access /hello/hello/.

This is not possible without exposing your server to the liklihood of a redirection deadloop.

When I go to [example.com...] it takes the content from /hello/ (or what also is [example.com...] - I want it to take the content from /hello/ and not /www/hello/.

Sorry, this is not clear. I don't see any reason in your code that this would happen.

I post here, since I don't know how to fix these things, so if you could help me, I would be very pleased.

Could you give me an example?

Now I don't know what I don't understand. Either it's the code, or your English, Because I seriously don't understand anything(I'm from Denmark). :)
