Subdomain to Subdir problem

Read several threads on this issue and still have an error

[kinchev]

Hey guys,

I alreay read these:
[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]

posts on the issue and also several others.

What I want to do is: sub.domain.co.uk => www.domain.co.uk/sub

The code I came up with:

rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/index\.php
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.co\.uk
rewriteRule ^(.*) [domain.co.uk...] [L]

Result: 500 Internal Server Error

Any ideas?

kinchev,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Any ideas?

Yes, please review and post the pertinent information from your server error log. It will often tell you exactly what's wrong.

I assume you're placing this code in .htaccess in your Web root directory. If placed in httpd.conf, minor changes will be required. If this is the only mod_rewrite code you have, then you will also need some "setup" directives.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [L]

I have also corrected some logic and syntax errors, and others that may be the result of this forum stripping required spaces from the code.

Yes, I place it in .htaccess and I do have
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On.

Error.log:
[Thu Aug 25 00:08:18 2005] [alert] .htaccess:
RewriteCond: bad argument line '%{REQUEST_URI}!^/index\.php'

I'm further rewriting it the following way:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ index.php?var=$1 [L,NC]

Thank you for any help.

Anyone?

Sorry for posting the second time.

The error log shows that your RewriteCond is invalid, either due to a missing space between "}" and "!" or because of an invisible character in the line, perhaps added by a word-processor program (You should use only a plain-text editor to edit .htaccess).

Your additional code with the "!-d" RewriteCond also needs an exclusion for index.php, since that won't exist as a directory. Without an exclusion, the code will loop and cause an error.
