Need to rewrite some urls

need some rewrite rules

[ivanvias]

Hi,

I am using unique subdomains and been getting some 404 errors on my site. Eg the following causes a 404 error.


http://subdomain.example.com/component/user/reset


I would like some rules to re-write these type of urls to these:

http://example.com/component/user/reset

IE to remove the subdomain

Rewrite (via proxy, I guess) or redirect?

Does the subdomain still exist? That is, it's obviously still got a DNS record, but does it still have content?

[phranque]

how many subdomains are you using and how do you identify which resources are served from which subdomain?

[ivanvias]

I am using multiple subdomains.

I just want to be able to detect once there is a subdomain with /component/user/reset to rewrite this to

http://example.com/component/user/reset

[phranque]

what have you tried?

[lucy24]

Same question again, then. Do you mean rewrite or redirect? What do you want the user's address bar to say?

[ivanvias]

I want a rewrite. it should say http://example.com/component/user/reset

[lucy24]

It is perfectly OK to say that you're not clear on the difference between "rewrite" and "redirect". But if you say emphatically "rewrite" and then show an example illustrating "redirect" we can't get far :(

[ivanvias]

Okay, I guess i mean its a redirect. Can anyone assist ith the rules. If i type in the broser http://anysubdomain.example.com/component/user/reset i ant it to redirect to http://example.com/component/user/reset

As phranque said above: What have you tried so far?

There exist forums that will simply take a question and spit out an answer. But this one has more of a teach-a-man-to-fish orientation. Otherwise you'll be back next month with a nearly identical question.
