I have various files for friends on my site that are listed under folders like mydomain.com/user/NAME I can make a wildcard subdomain so all subdomains will be the exact same as mydomain.com ; but how can I get the htaccess to react that way?

Basically I want NAME.mydomain.com to an alternative to mydomain.com/user/NAME

Thanks! BWF told me they'd set up wildcard, if I set up the htaccess.

Now to figure out how to make subdomain.mydomain.com match up with mydomain.com/user/subdomain

Would something like this work?:

Code:

Select All

 

Options -Multiviews
 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
 
# Force search engines to use mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] 
 
# Specify search friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\.mydomain\.com$ /users/$1 [L]

Options -Multiviews {BR} {BR}RewriteEngine On {BR}RewriteBase / {BR} {BR}# Force search engines to use mydomain.com {BR}RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com$ {BR}RewriteRule ^(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] {BR} {BR}# Specify search friendly URLs {BR}RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\.mydomain\.com$ /users/$1 [L]

 

Edit: nevermind. No idea how the hell to use wildcards.

Did that code work? It should do - I remember setting this up for someone not long ago... Have you got this fixed?
