Single domain multiple site

[azy777]

Hi All,

I am pretty new to apache and htaccess.

I have a site which should act as two sites depending on the site id passed

A rule that redirects something like

www.test1.com/a to www.test1.com?site=1&....

www.test1.com/b to www.test1.com?site=2&....

A rule that rewrites www.abc.com & .co.in to www.test1.com/a

A rule that rewrites www.def.com & .co.in to www.test1.com/b

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks :)

Why not use subdomains instead of subdirectories or query parameters? Testing with different URLs to what you intend to use in production --or with additional query strings-- sounds like a nightmare to me.

We can help you get your own code working here, but we can't write your code for you. Please see out Forum Charter.

Thanks for that Jim.

This is the code that I am currently using

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^abc\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*)$ [test1.com...] [R=301,L]

This works ok, but I get the following error

"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

Thanks in advance

Yes of course, because the output URL is NOT 'abc.com', so after the client is redirected, a new request arrives and is redirected again.
The same thing would happen even if just that problem was corrected, and you would get sequential redirects, each adding another "/a" to the URL-path. This must be explicitly prevented.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?abc\.(com¦co\.in) [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !^a/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.test1.com/a/$1 [R=301,L]

Important: Replace the broken pipe "¦" character with a solid pipe character before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.
