subdomain always redirect to index.php??

[robert_gsfame]

I really confused with this....i wish to have a subdomain for my user but i always manage subdomain by typing *.domain.com inside my cpanel which is always redirect me to index.php

 

Is it possible to redirect all subdomain to http://www.domainname.com/page1.php instead of index.php???

 

Would be appreciate if you can give me brief explanation

 

thx so much!!

method 1: you have to set wildcard subdomains to another directory rather than public_html [Root]

 

eg . you can set it /public_html/subdomains

 

method 2: If because of some reasons you are using public_html

then

$exp = explode(".", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ;
  if($exp[0]== "www" || $exp[0] == "WWW")
{
$username = $exp[1];
if($username != "yourTLD")  //your main domain
{
header("Location:page1.php"); 
}
}
else
{
  $username = $exp[0];
  if($username != "yourTLD")  //your main domain
{
header("Location:page1.php");
}
}

I use the second method but i have this error when using mozilla

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

That means you're redirecting in a loop.  I'd go back and be sure you have the URLs correct.  Also, try using absolute paths to the new URL.

[inversesoft123]

are you adding this code in header.inc.php ?

[robert_gsfame]

yeah you're right i got wrongly loop!!

 

thanks SO MUCH for all helps 

 

both of you're really great!!

 

One more thing, i redirect the page to http://www.domain.com/page1.php?user=$subdomain when subdomain was typed on url

 

Can i have only subdomain.domain.com typed instead of subdomain.domain.com/page1.php?user=$subdomain

using .htaccess

 

I have this but i don't think it's correct as i am just new on this..

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Options +FollowSymLinks

Options +Indexes

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.domain.com$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-]+).domain.com [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) page1.php?user=%1 [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([a-z0-9-]+).domain.com [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) page1.php?user=%2 [L]

</IfModule>

[inversesoft123]

http://www.mydomain.com/page1.php?user=$subdomain

 

This happens only in case if you have another wildcard redirection rule in .htaccess or some kind of url shortner redirection rule.

 

Remove that first

 

for subdomain.domain.com i.e if you dont want page1.php in url you need to set wildcard subdomain to directory as i stated above method1.
