Wildcard subdomain to directory

[ralphje]

Heey,

Well I've searched your topics for the appropriate information and I've found some information, namely in the topic at this topic [webmasterworld.com].

However, for some reason I get an 500-error when I enter a subdomain. This is my current .htaccess, with some rules left out because it's a huge file.

Can someone please help me out?

Can you please help me? I'm quite desperate.

[jdMorgan]

This is simply too much code to ask the members here to debug. If you can narrow down the problem to the specific section of code that is causing the error, you'll likely get a better response. You can do this by commenting-out one section at a time and re-testing after completely flushing your browser cache. Or perhaps you know which section you added which caused the 500-server error.

Also, please confirm that your operating system supports POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions -- This is required in order to use the back-reference method shown here. (Also note that because of this, the code has limited portability across server operating systms, which may be a concern if you need to change hosting platforms in the future).

I think that's the problem, since the problem occurred only since adding the part of that topic, since my error is still 'too much redirects'. Is there any other way to let the subdomain refer to that folder?

[jdMorgan]

There are several ways. Do you have any objection to storing the subdomain files at a path like "example.com/subs/<subdomain-name>" instead of storing them at "example.com/<subdomain-name>"?

Well in fact, they should be rewritten from, let's say user.example.com to www.example.com/weblog/user, so I say 'yes'.

[jdMorgan]

# Rewrite <subdomain>.example.com/<path> to example.com/weblog/<subdomain>/<path>
#
# Rewrite only if not already rewritten to /weblog/
RewriteCond $1 !weblog/
# Skip rewrite if subdomain is www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
# Extract (required) subdomain to %1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.example\.nl(:80)?$
# Rewrite to /weblog/subdomain/URL-path
RewriteRule (.*) /weblog/%1/$1 [L]
