Re: Issue with trailing slashes after rewrite (Apache Users)

Thanks, for the info. Unfortunately the suggested rule does not seem to work as expected.

Let me further explain what I'm trying to achieve:

All *.mydomain.com subdomains point to the same /mydomain/ local path as DocumentRoot (can't change this behavior due to shared hosting restrictions) and I'd like to have

a.mydomain.com -> /mydomain/a (http://a.mydomain.com still shown in address bar)
a.mydomain.com/dir1/ -> /mydomain/dir1 (http://a.mydomain.com/dir1/ still shown in address bar)
b.mydomain.com -> /mydomain/b (http://b.mydomain.com still shown in address bar)
b.mydomain.com/dir2/ -> /mydomain/dir2 (http://a.mydomain.com/dir2/ still shown in address bar)

My rule seems to work this way, with the notably exception of links to subdirs not containing trailing slash

Thanks in advance.

sorry missed the ^ above.

First SERVER_NAME is apache internal NOT a http header sent with the request thus will match ANY request. Use HTTP_HOST instead. You also need to escape the dots in the host name.

Second, from the documentation:

"To combine new and old query strings, use the [QSA] flag."

so by using QSA you are modifying the query string adding another foo to it thus the result you are seeing.

Finally, your rules should look like:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo\.mydomain\.com$

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule /(.*) /foo/$1 [L]

Hi all,
in a shared hosting with no access to httpd.conf, I'm trying to redirect subdomains to different document root using mod_rewrite.

I'm using this rule in a .htaccess file placed in DocumentRoot:

# Change document root for foo.mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} foo.mydomain.com
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule .* /foo%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

This works as expected accessing

foo.mydomain.com
foo.mydomain.com/
foo.mydomain.com/bar/

while

foo.mydomain.com/bar

fails as it's redirected to

/foo/foo/bar instead of /foo/bar

Please note that trailing slashes are automatically added to any rule but the ones rewritten by this rule.

Where's my fault?

Thanks in advance.
