Hi,I hope that you could help me, because I've spent hours on googling and reading mod_rewrite docs and still can't get it working...
What I want to achieve as a final effect is that GET requests like http://john.demo.myapp.com/ http://lucy.demo.myapp.com/ will be internally rewritten and served as http://john.demo.myapp.com/usersite/john http://lucy.demo.myapp.com/usersite/lucywithout redirects so URL in user's browser will remain clean, and I will avoid one more request. It should give the same effect as typing e.g. http://lucy.demo.myapp.com/usersite/lucy in the browser.
Here's my configuration: Apache is already configured for *.demo.myapp.com like <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName demo.myapp.com ServerAlias *.demo.myapp.com DocumentRoot /some/path # rest of config here </VirtualHost> I've tried to add RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)\.demo\.myapp\.com$ RewriteRule ^/$ /usersite/%1but the effect is that apache is looking for a file /some/path/usersite/lucy instead of rewriting query-string to /usersite/lucy (later it is passed to the Ruby on Rails backend using mod_passenger, but I've tried to do that without this module and I encounter the same problems).
I've tried also to force it to treat this as an URL, not a path by passing full URL:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)\.demo\.myapp\.com$ RewriteRule ^/$ http://%0/usersite/%1As log says, it constructs URL in a good way, but it invokes 302 redirect. In documentation, there's an information that if current host matches host in second part of RewriteRule, schema and host got stripped and query string is rewritten. It doesn't actually happen.
Any ideas? What am I making wrong? I use apache 2.2.
