What about something like this? RewriteEngine On RewriteLog logs/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(webmail\.[^:]+) RewriteRule .* http://%1:7080/webmail.exe [R] -ascs < -----Original Message----- From: m i l e s [mailto:magicmiles@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2006 3:58 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] A lil Mod Rewrite help please... Hi, Pardon me for asking this if its already been asked which Im certain that it has, regex is not my specialty... If I have the following series of urls: webmail.theusersdomain.com webmail.somedomain.com webmail.myuserdomain.com webmail.etc.com you get the picture.... Instead of adding hostdirections in the apache conf file....I was thinking a mod_rewrite rule would do the trick rather nicely....what I thought of was this: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^webmail\.[a-z]+\.com$ webmail\.[a-z]+\.com\:7080/scripts/ webmail.exe Am I in the right ball park ? And lastly, would this rule live in the httpd.conf file or would this rule live somewhere else ???? Or if I miss my guess would this rule have to live in a .htaccess file in EVERY domain_directory that I host ?
