subdomains

[xinn]

Hello,
so far ive been setting up different vhosts for different subdomains. In near future, i will have to create 100+ small pages in one domain but on different subdomains. Here is my question. Is this possible to create one vhost to handle these subdomains? The rule should be:
domain.com : /home/domain/www/
sub1.domain.com /home/domain/www/sub1/
sub2.domain.com /home/domain/www/sub2/

Regards

Yes, you can use some simple rewrite rules to do it.
You can reference section "Simple dynamic virtual hosts using mod_rewrite" in
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/mass.html

Simple rules means a lot of work for me ;)
I tried some configurations mentioned on this site... But they dont work for me..

This one would be ideal for me:


RewriteEngine on

RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower

# allow CGIs to work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/

# check the hostname is right so that the RewriteRule works
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}} ^www\.[a-z-]+\.domain\.pl$

# concatenate the virtual host name onto the start of the URI
# the [C] means do the next rewrite on the result of this one
RewriteRule ^(.+) ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}}$1 [C]

# now create the real file name
RewriteRule ^www\.([a-z-]+)\.domain\.pl/(.*) /home/domain/public_html/$1


Any ideas how to force it to work? ;)

There is a bug in rewritemap will be fixed in next release, but you don't need to use the lowercase map, as the %{SERVER_NAME} has been converted to lowercase by LSWS already, so you can try:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^www\.us\.pl$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^(.*)\.us\.pl$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /home/uspl/public_html/%1/$1

Set "Rewrite Log level" to "9" and check the error log to debug those rules.

Hello,

thank you for your answer Goerge,

the rules which you wrote almost fits my needs, there is just small *bug*,
when you access www.sub.domain.pl it searchs for files in:
/home/user/public_html/www.sub not in /home/user/public_html/sub

This rule works perfect ( maybe someone other will use it in future - this is why i post it here ):


RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^www\.domain\.pl$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^(www\.)?([a-z-]+)\.domain\.pl$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /home/domainpl/public_html/%2/$1


Thank you for your help Mistwang,

Best Regards
