htaccess help.

[TriggerHappy]

I need some help on making an htaccess file which does something like this;

www.sub.mysite.com/file.php

redirects to

www.mysite.com/file.php?var=sub

It needs to be dynamic so it works with any file in the directory and any subdomain.
It also needs to mask the domain, so in the header it would look like sub.mysite.com/file.php still.

Think of it in terms like this;

$1 = the file
$2 = subdomain

www.$2.mysite.com/$1

redirects to

www.mysite.com/$1?var=$2

Maybe...:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.mysite.com/$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1?var=$2 [L,R=301]

I am not sure if it will work, as htaccess is not really something I am strong with.

The above code appears to only work on the 'sub' subdomain (not tested).

I need it to work on any subdomain (it needs to be dynamic).

Googled "apache htaccess subdomains". First result appears to say that..

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^\.]*).domain.com$ 
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1?var=%1 [L]

...should work.

It also needs to mask the domain, so in the header it would look like sub.mysite.com/file.php still.

It's called a rewrite, not redirect.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^\.]*).ezforums.net$ 
RewriteRule (.*)$ ezforums.net/phpbb/$1?access_name=%1 [L]

Gives a 500 internal server error.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^\.]*).ezforums.net$ 
RewriteRule (.*)$ ezforums.net/phpbb/index.php?access_name=%1 [L]

Works, but every link of course directs to index.php.

I checked what the value of $1 and it was indeed the filename. I have no idea whats wrong.

It's a parse error, I haven't used apache in a long time though.

Probably in this area

RewriteRule (.*)$ ezforums.net/p

$1 must be causing the parse error then because it works without it.

Even though it works if I use it as a PHP argument (?access_name=$1).
