Apache 2: Mod_Rewrite Help - If/else for directory exists
- by BHare
This is my current and sloppy Apache 2 mod_rewrite. Keep in mine the part with site1 site2..etc has about 50 sites.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mainsite\.org$
RewriteCond /home/%1/ -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.mainsite\.org/media/(.*) /home/$1/special/media/$2
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.mainsite\.org/(.*) /home/$1/www/$2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mainsite\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mainsite.org$1 [R=302]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (site1|site2|site3|site4)\.(com|net|biz|org|us)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/media/
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /home/%1/www/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (site1|site2|site3|site4)\.(com|biz|net|org|us)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/media/(.*)$ /home/%1/special/media/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} favicon.ico$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /misc/favicon.ico
So if someone tries to go to theirusername.mainsite.org it will check if /home/theirusername/ exists, and if it does use their www (/home/theirusername/www/) as the file location for web files. If they try they try to access theirusername.mainsite.org/media/ it will make a special file location to look for the file(s) at /home/theirusername/special/media/
I would like it if the username did NOT have /home/username that it would automatically default to www.mainsite.org. I am having a hard time understanding how to do skips and such. so:
If someone went to notrealusername.mainsite.org/forum/ it would auto direct to www.mainsite.org/forum/
Extra:
I am using repetitive code for other site for example lets say foobar has a website foobar.com, it goes through the same process as mainsite.org so figured maybe having something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).(mainsite.org|com|net|biz|org)$
where I could have one major rule for all existing domains who have a /home/
