Re: Apache: Avoiding users to access 'www.foo.com/subdomain1/'

There's a way to achieve what you ask with mod_rewrite directives in .htaccess, but before trying this, why not point foo.com to a separate directory?

Hi.

I have an Apache server, which main rootwebdir is '/usr/www/users/foo/' and 'foo.com' points there. However, I have some subdomains pointing within their directories:

subdomain1.foo.com ---> /usr/www/users/foo/subdomain1
subdomain2.foo.com ---> /usr/www/users/foo/subdomain2

This causes me a problem: if anyone types 'www.foo.com/subdomain1/aboutme.html', they find 'subdomain1.foo.com/aboutme.html' with another URL, and I'd like to avoid it.

I wondered if there was any way to avoid this (e.g., showing a 404 page), by using a directive within the '.htaccess' file of '/usr/www/users/foo/subdomain1'.

Any other solution is welcome. Thank you very much.
