Redirect a subdomain to the main domain - snoopy74 - 09-03-2009 10:40 PM

Again hello :o)

Creating a subdomain for an account, i have to specifiy a special directory.
Now one of my customers wants to receive all requests to a subdomain on his main domain:

sub.test1.com > test1.com

Without changing the URL to "test1.com".
Is there a possibility with .htaccess ?

I already tried:
Code:
RewriteEngine    on
RewriteRule    ^/$ /srv/www/virtual/test1.com/htdocs/

Code:
RewriteEngine    on
RewriteRule    ^/$ /test1.com/htdocs/

Code:
RewriteEngine    on
RewriteRule    ^/$ /../../htdocs/

All without success.

did you try
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://test1.com/$1 [P]
ofcourse this must be in sub.test1.com (/srv/www/virtual/test1.com/sub1/htdocs/.htaccess)
?

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://test1.com/$1 [P]
returns an Error 500.

btw: Wouldn't that way not disturb my URL / request host ?

Another form of my question:
Is it possible to use the sources from "www.test1.com" for all requests for "sub.test1.com" without visible changes in the URL ?

My customer installed WordPress and changed it for multi-domain-support (Doc from http://www.yourhelpcenter.de/2009/03/wordpress-mehrere-domains-mit-einer-wp-installation/). Now he did not want to install WP on all subdomains and support all those copies.

strange, I test it and works for me, but i think, that you can set directory to same as main domain.

No, it's not possible.

Error message from ispcp:
"Mount point already in use!"

Any other ideas ?

Hi snoopy74

normally all subdomains (subx.domain.tld) are handled by the main domain (because the apache config has a "ServerAlias *.domain.tld" - so you don't need an extra entry for them.
(Well, then http://www.subx-domain.tld does not work - but I think this is not needed).

Otherwise I often set / as sub-older - and then the subdomain is the same as the main domain (just take care when deleting the subdomain - I don't know if the folder is removed... :-) :-)

There is one really easy way, but it must be done as an admin because it involves filesystem fiddling:
Code:
rm -rf /var/www/virtual/domain.tld/subdomain/htdocs
mkdir /var/www/virtual/domain.tld/subdomain/htdocs
mount --bind /var/www/virtual/domain.tld/htdocs /var/www/virtual/domain.tld/subdomain/htdocs
