Question about subdomains in modrewrite

Hi all,

I try to get something to work but i just dont get it why it doesnt

i want this:

everythingthatstandshere.mydomain.com/$something
to link to
www.mydomain.com/$something

and not one thing but everything that stands before that with all symbols (if possible) included like - (-blabla.mydomain.com)

I know there is a way to get this in mod rewrite but i just cant figure out how

Thanks

Bas

 

It should look something like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,NE,R=301]

 

Tryed that doesn't work still no connections from my subdomains to my main site

Thanks

 

Is it only rewrite rules you've done?

A catch all subdomain doesn't actually need mod rewrite in this case - the subdomain is being treated as if it were the main site.

To get *.domain.com to work you need to do two things:
1) edit the apache httpd.conf virtualhosts section for the domain and add ServerAlias *.domain.com
2) add a DNS A record for *.domain.com. (ending with a period)

 

Right , you have to use Wildcard DNS .
