Yet Another Redirect Question

[lordphate]

Okay this may sound a little odd but here's what i'm wanting to find out:

 

I want http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=classifieds  to actually be  http://classifieds.domain.com/  sounds easy right? WRONG, because i ALSO want all the classifieds to be http://classifieds.domain.com/nameofclassified  INSTEAD OF http://www.domain.com/classifieds/nameofclassified    ALL while keeping the url as classifieds.domain.com (or classifieds.domain.com/nameofclassified)

 

Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated

This worked for me...

 

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} classifieds.domain.com
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?page=classifieds
[/code

This would work if of course i wanted only index.php?page=classifieds

but i also need anything AFTER classifieds.domain.com/********** to associate as a folder

I think you're making it too hard on yourself (I do this from time to time as well)..  The rewrite code I gave you does just what you're asking.  Let me break it down for you.

 

First we add the rewrite condition:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} classifieds.domain.com

 

This tells mod_rewrite to check for your third level domain "classifieds"

If it is then it moves on to test the next condition.

 

RewriteRule ^$ index.php?page=classifieds

 

Here we are telling mod_rewrite that if the url is blank (http://classifieds.domain.com/) re-write the url as index.php?page=classifieds

 

if the URL isn't blank mod_rewrite will not touch it.  That means that http://classifieds.domain.com/mydirectory will actually stay http://classifieds.domain.com/mydirectory.  So as long as http://classifieds.domain.com/ pulls up the directory for http://www.domain.com/ by default, no further rewites are needed.  However you could get as explicit as you want by simply adding additional rules like so:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index.php?page=$1{QUERY_STRING} [L,NS]

 

The above would rewrite http://classifieds.domain.com/home.html to http://classifieds.domain.com/index.php?page=home
