Mod rewrite - variable rewriteBase

Hi,

I need to find a way to have the rewriteBase change depending on the URL.
for example, if the URL contains the string "sslserver" then the rewriteBase should be /oursite/.
if the URL does not contain the string "sslserver" then the rewriteBase should be /.

Does anyone know if this is even possible?

cheers,

put some examples it would make it easier to understand what you want

A -> B

 

Post the original URL and how you want it. If you're just making the strings be directories, you don't need a rewriteBase for every one of them, just one.

 

Are you sure you can't do it with rewriteCond?

Something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} sslserver
RewriteRule (.*) oursite/$1 [L]

RewriteRule (.*) $1

Code (markup):

Obviously the second rule is useless in that case, but I don't know what you want doing.

First it checks the request for 'sslserver' and if it does contain that it rewrites to the directory 'oursite' and stops rewriting (L flag). Otherwise it carries on with the rewrite rules (no 'sslserver') and rewrites to the / directory instead.

 

Hi,

I am unsure of the syntax for the following but this is how I would imagine it would look.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} sslserver
RewriteBase /oursite/
RewriteRule (.*) /oursite/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !sslserver
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) /$1 [L]

So, I want to be able to change the rewriteBase depending on if the URL contains the string "sslserver";

 

A wise man once said....

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ WHATEVER.php?WHATEVER=$1 [L]

and change WHATEVER to WHATEVER it is in the original URL.

 

the RewriteRule is not the problem, that has been working fine the whole time, and I am able to change the RewriteRule depending on if the URL contains "sslserver" fine aswell.

The problem is changing the RewriteBASE depending on the URL...

I dont think I am going to get any answers here so I will be moving on...

thanks anyway

 

RewriteBase only works if it's a real directory. Hince you use RewriteRule to make the directories.
