dynamic rewrites using $1, %1, %2 etc

  • 772

how to make more complex and dynamic rewrites using $1, %1, %2 etc.

I'm trying to make a more dynamic rewrite (got a lot of domians pointing to the same server/site)

#   put 'www' as subdomain if none is given
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}        ^([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$          http://www.%1/$1 [L,R=301]

#   rewrite subdomains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}        ^(admin|files|imap|mysql)\.[^\.]+\.[^\.]+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}      !^/_(admin|files|imap|mysql)/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$          /_%1/$1 [L]

#   redirect to subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}        ^www\.([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}      ^/_([^/]*)/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$          http://%1.domain.com/ [L,R=301]

#   rewrite 'secure' subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}        ^(demo|secure)\.[^\.]+\.[^\.]+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}      !^/_secure/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$          /_secure/$1 [L]

but now I'm confronting a problem..

by #redirect to subdomain I can't figure out how to solve the condition and rule like the other I have made.. somehow I need to extract the domain from the first condition and then use it in the rule with %1, but how can you do that when you got another condition in between?

    The capture data for %1 etc is used from the RewriteCond immediately above the RewriteRule.

    Is there any reason your URI path evaluation/capture can't just occur in the RewriteRule? Something like this (I think this is what you're going for?):

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}        ^www\.([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/_([^/]*)/$        http://$1.%1/ [L,R=301]
