Hi all could be posted in apache forum as well but thought i'd try here and see if a mod moves it I'm trying to setup mod_rewrite for domains so that www.domain.com/city.php?name=foobar appears as foobar.domain.com with www being left alone. I've seen numerous examples of how to do this, but can't test any due to being stuck on the first step, wildcard subdomains.. from WHM i've added a dns zone entry as follows: *.domain.com. 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. now, when going to foobar.domain.com i see the standard cpanel 'there is no site configured at this address' page. Is my zone entry wrong? I've added a redirect example as below: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^w{3}\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.australia-source\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$ /city.php?name=%1 [L] but again, nothing happens apart from seeing the cpanel placeholder page for any non-www subdomain. any pointers appreciated!
