Subdomains using .htaccess

[jimkarter]

Can anybody tell me how can we setup subdomains from our .htaccess file instead of httpd.conf file?
Any suggestions please?

Hi there

You can try the below code

#Grab the subdomain from the domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).DOMAIN.COM$
#Make sure the subdomain is not www or example
RewriteCond %{1} !^(www|example)$
#Check if the directory actually exists before we go there
RewriteCond /home/USER/public_html/%1 -d
#This stops it from looping
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/home/USER/public_html/
#Finally, this is the actual rewrite
RewriteRule (.*) /home/USER/public_html/%1/$1 [Last]

Change the DOMAIN.COM WITH YOUR OWN DOMAIN AND USER WITH YOUR USER NAME

and try

Hi jitender,
Does this need wild card supported hosting?

No need for wild card support hosting,

Hi jitender,
I copied that in a .htaccess file, changed the domain, user to mine, but it gives me a page not found message.

BTW, the domain needs to be changed at 1 place and the user in 2 places. Is that right?

no

USER = three times
DOMAIN = one time
