For those of you that run little webservers at home and that don't have cPanel (), here is a nifty trick that will allow you to create your very own subdomains... FOR APACHE ONLY! IIS DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS! First off, say you want http://msfn.yoursite.com to redirect to http://www.msfn.org, then you would put the following in the .htaccess file in the root of your server: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^msfn.yoursite.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.msfn.yoursite.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.msfn.org/ [L,R=301] This basically redirects it to msfn.org! And now, let's say you want a random subdomain to redirect to a random folder on your server... For example, let's say you type in http://something.yoursite.com in your browser... This rewrite rule should make it redirect to http://www.yoursite.com/something ... Now if you do or do not have a folder called "something" on your server, that's another story. If its there, it'll redirect, it if its not, it'll give you a 404! RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yoursite\.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.yoursite\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/%1 [L,R] The %1 is a variable, so therefore whatever gets placed before .yoursite.com will be in place of that variable. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, post them here and i'll be glad to help out!
