Redirect in multihosted domain

[ard]

Hi,

I have a a multihosted domain pointing to a subdomain unde the principal domain. Like this:

www.multihosteddomain.com

points to:

www.principaldomain.com/multihosteddomain

I want that:

www.multihosteddomain.com/subdir

To resolve in:

www.multihosteddomain.com/subdir/

(that's no happening) So I tried to setup a redirect, with no success. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Aníbal Rojas

That should be happening. I'd contact support on the issue. Someone else posted some time this weekend (I've been away from civilization all weekend and haven't been keeping up with posts) about a similar slash problem. I'd suspect that some server isn't correctly configured.

I'll put in a ticket for my site (on Oxygen) shortly. I've heard from several knowledgeable sides now that this is not normal behaviour, so I hope they can fix this.

In addition: how do I set up a redirect to make all multihosteddomain.principaldomain.com/... URLs redirect to multihosteddomain.com/...? To remove the "duplicate entry point" so to speak.

Hi Heemskerk,

You issue is fixed. Please check.

Yep it works without the slash now. Support was back very fast. Or maybe they already responded to the forum post? d4rk are you a (new) support technician?

Now just the redirect to figure out. I guess Jason will have passed by before I have time later today to study the apache manuals

Be sure to study the section on mod_rewrite, as that's where the answer will be. I might have an example that I can dig up for you somewhere, but it will have to wait. I have to go walk my friend's dog first.

I was already reading when you posted and had wound my way to mod_rewrite indeed (the mod_alias which does the simpler redirects doesn't cut it). But that one is soooo complex and full of regular expression stuff

So I'd appreciate it if you take a look at what I *think* is the answer before I throw it in the .htaccess file.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^fully\.qualified\.subdomain\.name
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://fully.qualified.multihosteddomain.name/$1 [R=permanent]

Also wondering: can I put this in the "main" .htaccess file, or will I have to put it in the subdomain's own folder? (Would rather not start spreading these all over the place without need).

Great.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.multihosteddomain\.com(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^multihosteddomain\.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.multihosteddomain.com/$1 [L,R]

and put this .htaccess into multihosteddomain directory.
