URL Rewriting Problem [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm trying to rewrite my URL's subdomain.

http://username.domain.com will show content of http://www.domain.com/user.php?u=username but URL stay as http://username.domain.com . (I mean url masking)

(Username's can contain a-z 0-9 and hypens) Also if subdomain is www or api, don't redirect them

I'm using this for my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

(After @mfarver's advice) I'm trying this 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

but this time getting 500 Internal Server error:

[Mon May 30 20:10:44 2011] [alert] [client 81.6.xx.xxx] /home/blablabla/public_html/.htaccess: AllowOverride not allowed here

(from error log)

My server's httpd.conf file's virtualhost settings

    # To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location

</VirtualHost>

Also *.DOMAIN.net added to my DNS ZONES as A record.

  1. If you are using a .htaccess file, your server should have AllowOverride direction for these domain contexts. Check you servers general configuration.

    Also you need a redirect for thise kind of rewriting.

    instead of: RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

    use: RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/user.php?u=%1 [r,L]

    After your edit: you do not need redirecting.

  2. This should do the job - you need "PT" to stop it from being a redirect. If it isn't a redirect the URL won't change in the browser:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [PT,L]
