mod_rewrite capturing domain and tld

  • 772

I'm using mod_write to rewrite this

www.variabledomain.variableext

to

http://my.com/variabledomain.variableext

Note that variabledomain and variableext are really variable, so I can't hardcode them.

I'm not an expert at mod_rewrite, but I thought something like would work, but it isn't. Any ideas what I should be doing instead.

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*)$ http://my.com/$2\.$3 [R=301,L]
apache-2.2

    RewriteRule only matches on the URL path, not the hostname. You'll need to use RewriteCond, e.g.

    RewriteCond HTTP_HOST ([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://example.com/%2.%3/$1 [R=301,L]

    There are more great examples on how to do similar things in the Apache documentation "Dynamic mass virtual hosts with mod_rewrite". Pay particular attention to the "See Also" section on the right that has great examples.
