disable PHP processor on just a sub domain.

[jasonc]

I have created a sub domain for a friend to learn HTML, but just to be sure that anyone that is helping them does not mess up the main site i wish to disable the PHP, so that any files in that sub domain does not execute.

 

can this be done?

 

i do use PHP on the main site.

 

so...

 

sub.domain.com  can 'not' use PHP

domain.com  can use PHP

Is this on an Apache or IIS server

in the root folder of his subdomain, you could do this in an .htaccess file:

 

RemoveType .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php

It would be a lot easier and faster (no wasted time FTP'ing code) to learn HTML or any other web technology on a local development system.

RemoveType .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php

 

hey thanks..

 

just tried the code and it still executed the code.

Did you put that code in a .htaccess file? It should NOT be "myfile.htaccess" or "file.htaccess" or "a.htaccess" or anything like that.

 

it should ONLY be ".htaccess"

 

Have you worked with htaccess before?

 

It should do this when done correctly:

yes i have use .htaccess before but not for long.

 

its the whole PHP that i want disabled in that sub domain, as PHP can be embeded in a HTML file too

 

on the main site i use PHP in a html file and used .htaccess to allow this.

 

 

sub.domain.com/.htaccess

...has this...

 

RemoveType .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php

 

 

domain.com/.htaccess

...has this...

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

Why not just do it in his virtual host config?

 

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName something.something.com

DocumentRoot "/some/folders/"

RemoveType .php

#Remove html and readd

</VirtualHost>

 

 

Or you could do it with a <Directory> tag.
