"Make sure you have a wildcard DNS entry in Domain > DNS. You can add one as followed:
Set the "Record Type" dropdown to "A" and click the Add button.
In the next screen enter a * (asteriks) in the domain name field, and enter the IP address your subdomain needs to point to."

I'm assuming at this point all you have left to do is setup Virtual Hosts [httpd.apache.org].

[dylan34]

Have a look at vhost_alias module. I think it's what you are looking for.

i've found out something :)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.domain\.com?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com?$
RewriteRule ^$ /sub1/index.html [L]

if i have the directory sub1 i can accesing by sub1.example.com without problem but i have like 500 directories. should write RewriteRule for all the directories or is a expresion for that?

tnx allot

[dylan34]

hmmit's seem that any subdomain i type he will redirect me to sub1.example.com

[dylan34]

i've found out something better
rewriteEngine on
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.example\.com [NC]
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.example\.com [NC]
rewriteRule ^/(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

but still is a small problem. the directory sub1 it can be access it by sub1.example.com only by sub1.example.com/sub1 any help is welcome . tnx allot

Can you re-phrase that question? It is not clear.

I'd suggest the following modifications to make the rule more robust:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9_]+)\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

But that is not intended as a solution to your latest question.
