mod_rewrite: redirect from subdomain to main domain
- by Bald
I have two domains - domain.com and forum.domain.com that points to the same directory.
I'd like redirect all request from forum.domain.com to domain.com (for example: forum.domain.com/foo to domain.com/forum/foo) without changing address in addres bar (hidden redirect).
I wrote something like this and put it into .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.example\.net$
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/forum/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [L]
That works only if I add Redirect directive:
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/forum/$1 [R,L]
But it changes previous address in address bar.
EDIT:
Ok, let's make it simple. I added those two lines at the end of the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on my local computer:
127.0.0.3 foo.net
127.0.0.3 forum.foo.net
Now, I created two virtual hosts:
<VirtualHost foo.net:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName foo.net
DocumentRoot "C:/usr/src/foo"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost forum.foo.net:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName forum.foo.net
DocumentRoot "C:/usr/src/foo"
</VirtualHost>
..and directory called "foo", where i put two files: .htaccess and index.php.
Index.php:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
?>
.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.foo\.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/forum/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^forum\.foo\.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [L]
When I type address http://forum.foo.net/test in address bar, it displays /forum/test which is good. http://foo.net/a/b/c shows /a/b/c which is good. But! http://forum.foo.net/ displays empty value (should display /forum).
