Re: mod_rewrite subdomains

It's worth doing a search of previous postings because most common questions have been asked and answered before. I got this link from a previous post:
http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php

If it doesn't answer your question, there are a number of previous posts that you can look at.

Re: mod_rewrite subdomains

I figured it out and for anyone who is reading this save the following as .htaccess in public_html

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
 
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) /example\.com/$1 [L]
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) /example\.com/$1 [L]

Re: mod_rewrite subdomains

oh and i also forgot. you have to create a wildcard by adding an A record with the name of * for the ip address of your server
