mod_rewrite problem with subdomain..

I am having a problem with mod_rewrite on subdomains..

I have a folder named 'articles' and have a .htaccess inside this foler that rewrites as:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?/(.*)/([0-9]+)$ ../example.php?id=$3 [L]
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

now when i access example.com/articles/a-title/12 it works fine...
I created a subdomain articles.example.com & when I access articles.example.com/articles/a-title/12 the server returns a 400 bad request error...

All my other rules work too without subdomain but with subdomain none works even simply opening articles.example.com returns a 400 error.. can someone please provide some assistance..

 

Hello,

If you are using cpanel hosting the its very true you get page not found for :

articles.example.com/articles/a-title/12


As in cpanel http://example.com/articles/ = http://articles.example.com/

You need not again go to articles after that http://articles.example.com/articales does not exist as per cpanel structure.

Just try to access it as http://articles.example.com/a-title/12

You will see it should work.

articles.example.com/articles, im using articles.example.com/a-title/45 and i do not get a 404 error, i am getting a 400 bad request error when using subdomains though directly accessing the directory example.com/articles/a-title/45 works perfectly.. any ideas?
