Problem with my internal redirect not working

[Davvit]

Hi,

I have am using pseudo sub-domains and redirecting them to a query.

This has worked fine for me on other websites ( on the same server ) but
I can not get it to work now ?

This is my .htacess file:


The rules I am trying to get working are:
the: # GETTING PLATFORM NAME rules ( see below )

Options +SymLinksifOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On

# BELOW IS STUFF TO BLOCK SPAMMING ATTACKS 
######################################################
# Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|%3D) [OR]

# Block out any script trying to base64_encode crap to send via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*(.*) [OR]

# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (<|%3C).*script.*(>|%3E) [NC,OR]

# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]

# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|[|%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})

# Send all blocked request to homepage with 403 Forbidden error!
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.org/index.php?m=$1&pg=1 [NC,QSA,L]

When I try this address: red-widgets.example.org
I get this notice:
This site can’t be reached
red-widgets.example.org’s server DNS address could not be found.

If you enter the ... example.org/index.php?n=red-widgets
then you see the site .

then other links will not work either :(

Can you see what I have done wrong ?

Many thanks for any help !
David.

[edit reason] Please remember to use example.com or example.org and not post specifics [/edit]

This site can’t be reached
red-widgets.example.org’s server DNS address could not be found.

As the error states, you have a problem with your DNS. It sounds like you need to have a "wildcard" subdomain (ie.*) configured in the DNS zone for example.org. This has nothing to do with .htaccess. "This site can't be reached" - Your site is not even being reached, no request is getting through to your server.

Yes - I had forgotten about that !
Thanks
