subdomain and url rewriting (again plz)

the requested URL was not found

[cyberlahy]

hello,

I've search since the last week the problem but I never see the solution (I'm a newbie).

I'm in shared hosting but I can create unlimited subdomains from CPanel and PHP/CPanel.

I create aaa.mydomain.com and bbb.mydomain.com
And I want to have www.mydomain.com/show.php?user=aaa&page=abc

But when I do aaa.mydomain.com/abc.html the message is :
Not Found
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And when I do aaa.mydomain.com, I have the directory

My htaccess is

RewriteEngine on

# If www domain requested, rewrite html page requests to show.php with
# query string
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/show\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html /show.php?page=$1 [L]
#
# If www domain requested, rewrite home page requests to show.php
# with query string page = "home"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/show\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain.com
RewriteRule ^$ /show.php?page=home [L]
#

# If subdomain requested, rewrite subdomain and html page requests
# to index.php with query string
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/index\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html /index.php?user=%1&page=$1 [L]
#
# If subdomain requested, rewrite home page requests to index.php
# with query string user=subdomain & page="home"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/index\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?user=%1&page=home [L]

What's wrong?

Thanks

Cyberlahy,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

It is very often the case that "subdomains" created with cPanel are created as separate subdirectories below the original Web root directory. These subdomain/subdirectories cannot 'see' any directories above them. Therefore, the domain-related part of your code would need to be copied (or symlinked) into those new subdirectories.

Also, do you have *any* rewriterules that work? If not, add
Options +FollowSymLinks
at the top of your mod_rewrite code.

Thank you very much Jim,

I put file.php in each subdirectories and this file have PHP code include( "../file.php" ).

url rewrite works thanks.

But I have another problem :

# If www+subdomain domain requested, externally redirect to subdomain without "www"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) h**p://%1.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#

and when I do : www.aaa.mydomain.com or www.aaa.mydomain.com/azerty.html it's return in my browser :
aaa.mydomain.com/aaa or
aaa.mydomain.com/aaa/azerty.html

Another question when I do aaa.mydomain.com or bbb.mydomain.com/azerty.html or anySubDomain.mydomain.com, they work well but one subdomain ccc.domain.com return mydomain.com/ccc

Even when I remove this subdomain and subdirectory and recreate it, it's return the same.
Even when I leave empty the htaccess

What file can redirect this subdomain like that?

And when I see my CPanel, there is no redirect.

All my thanks again to you Jim for your explanation at [webmasterworld.com ]

This is a problem of rule order.

Put the www.<sub>.domain.com redirect rule first.
Then put the <sub>.domain.com redirect rule next.
Lastly, do the internal rewrite from <sub>.domain.com to /sub

If you put the rewrite before the redirects, then the redirects will 'expose' the rewritten script URL.

Hello Jim,

The order of my rewrite rule is like that.
But if i leave empty my htaccess, it's the same result.

www.aaa.mydomain.com -> aaa.mydomain.com/aaa
www.aaa.mydomain.com/abc.html -> aaa.mydomain.com/aaa/abc.html

And the problem of only one subdomain ccc
if I do ccc.mydomain.com -> mydomain.com/ccc

but when I do aaa or bbb or ddd.mydomain.com they stay ddd.mydomain.com

Even htaccess empty.
