Quick redirect?

[Cory94bailly]

Hi.

 

I am trying to make it so these rules are followed:

MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/_forum/WHATEVER (Note: I want it to show as MYSITE.net but be at /_forum)
forum.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/WHATEVER
blog.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/STATIC-PAGE

 

 

Everything I have tried just gave me a 500 error..

 

Any help?

This might do it:

 

RewriteEngine on

#MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/_forum/WHATEVER (Note: I want it to show as MYSITE.net but be at /_forum)
#forum.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/WHATEVER
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MYSITE\.net
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.MYSITE\.net [OR]
RewriteRule (.*) _forum/$1 [QSA,L]

#blog.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/STATIC-PAGE
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} blog\.MYSITE\.net
RewriteRule .* STATIC-PAGE [L]

RewriteEngine on

#MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/_forum/WHATEVER (Note: I want it to show as MYSITE.net but be at /_forum)
#forum.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/WHATEVER
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MYSITE\.net
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.MYSITE\.net [OR]
RewriteRule (.*) _forum/$1 [QSA,L]

#blog.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/STATIC-PAGE
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} blog\.MYSITE\.net
RewriteRule .* STATIC-PAGE [L]

 

Ok.. So when I go to MYSITE.net, it works like it should..

 

But when I go to forum.MYSITE.net, it does nothing.. It just keeps me on forum.MYSITE.net..

 

And how can I make it so blog.MYSITE.net redirects to MYSITE.net? I tried putting it right it but it gave me a 500.

Oops. I have the [OR] on the wrong line.

 

RewriteEngine on

#MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/_forum/WHATEVER (Note: I want it to show as MYSITE.net but be at /_forum)
#forum.MYSITE.net/WHATEVER > MYSITE.net/WHATEVER
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MYSITE\.net [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.MYSITE\.net
RewriteRule (.*) _forum/$1 [QSA,L]

 

I'm not sure what you want with the blog.MYSITE.net anymore.  If you redirect from blog.MYSITE.net to MYSITE.NET it's going to redirect again to _forum.  Is that what you want?

Yes, that's what I do want it to do..

 

Hmm, I'm not sure what I changed but the blog redirect works now..

 

Now it's just that "forum.MYSITE.net" doesn't redirect me anywhere (still)..

 

I'm trying 2 different browsers and I cleared my cache on both. (And I just tried a proxy)

I'm not really sure why the forum.MYSITE.net redirect wouldn't be working.

 

My RewriteCond lines essentially say if the host is "MYSITE.net" or "forum.MYSITE.net" then redirect to "_forum"

 

You might try some logging.

I tried putting this in my .htaccess:

RewriteLog "/home/moddlnet/public_html/rewrite.log"

 

But it gave a 500.. (I tried putting it at the top and at the bottom.. both 500.)

 

I'm on shared hosting btw..

You may need to set RewriteLogLevel too.

 

Or your host may be forbidding it.

Just tried that.. I'm pretty sure they blocked it..

 

I was just reading their FAQ and I saw something that they were running in "CGI Mode"...
