wildcard subdomain htaccess (24th Nov 10 at 2:05am UTC)
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

Posted By Marc on 24th Nov 10 at 2:38am http://www.easymodrewrite.com/example-subdomains Merry Christmas. 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/$1 [L] Options -Multiviews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Force search engines to use mydomain.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mydomain\.com$ RewriteRule ^(.) http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] # Specify search friendly URLs RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\.mydomain\.com$ /users/$1 [L] 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?
