Wildcard subdomain .htaccess and Codeigniter
- by Gautam
Hi All,
I am trying to create the proper .htaccess that would allow me to map as such:
http://domain.com/ --> http://domain.com/home
http://domain.com/whatever --> http://domain.com/home/whatever
http://user.domain.com/ --> http://domain.com/user
http://user.domain.com/whatever --> http://domain.com/user/whatever/
Here, someone would type in the above URLs, however internally, it would be redirecting as if it were the URL on the right.
Also the subdomain would be dynamic (that is, http://user.domain.com isn't an actual subdomain but would be a .htaccess rewrite)
Also /home is my default controller so no subdomain would internally force it to /home controller and any paths following it (as shown in #2 example above) would be the (catch-all) function within that controller.
Like wise if a subdomain is passed it would get passed as a (catch-all) controller along with any (catch-all) functions for it (as shown in #4 example above)
Hopefully I'm not asking much here but I can't seem to figure out the proper .htaccess or routing rules (in Codeigniter) for this.
httpd.conf and hosts are setup just fine.
EDIT #1
Here's my .htaccess that is coming close but is messing up at some point:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-]+).domain [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php/%1/$1 [QSA]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
With the above, when I visit: http://test.domain/abc/123 this is what I notice in $_SERVER var (I've removed some of the fields):
Array
(
[REDIRECT_STATUS] => 200
[SERVER_NAME] => test.domain
[REDIRECT_URL] => /abc/123
[QUERY_STRING] =>
[REQUEST_URI] => /abc/123
[SCRIPT_NAME] => /index.php
[PATH_INFO] => /test/abc/123
[PATH_TRANSLATED] => redirect:\index.php\test\test\abc\123\abc\123
[PHP_SELF] => /index.php/test/abc/123
)
You can see the PATH_TRANSLATED is not properly being formed and I think that may be screwing things up?
