[BlueOnyx:06140] Re: wildcard domains and mod_rewrite

[Germano Soru]

Thank you for the suggestion 

 

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
^(www.)?([^.]+)(\..*).(\com|me.uk|co.uk|org.uk|org|it|net) [nc]

RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www%3.%4/$1 [QSA,L]

 

This seams to work for me

 

The down side is that you have to list the TLD, but since I probably won't
have to deal with 99% of them, its ok

 

Thankx again

You might want to try using some [OR] statements (or use the RegEx or'ing)
to get a "switch" styled conditional going inside there.  That way you could
test for (\.co\.uk | \.me\.uk), etc.  I think you'd just have to make sure
that you're looking to see that the users are using something before the .co
or .me, so something like..

 

Rewrite Engine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([^.]+)(\..*)(\.co.uk|me.uk|com|etc)

RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]

 

You'll have to fiddle with the RewriteRule a bit, and get the rest of the
TLDs in there as well, but something like that should work, but that's just
off the top of my head.

 

That should effectively grab all of the subdomains which they may have
added, take the TLD, and their host as well.  If that's completely wrong,
please disregard it.

 

Kind regards,

Hi,

 

I just had a quick question that I've been asking in relevant chat rooms and
forums and everyone seams to bicker rather then help.

 

I obviously can't control everyone's NS settings and sometimes people put
wildcards as entries to allow them to create subdomains instantly and then
remove them later.

These removed ones or misspelt subdomains (or anything for that matter) are
forwarded to the first subdomain that I created on that ip on the box. I
don't know if people encounter this and have found a solution?

 

I tried a mod_rewrite script to allow me to strip out the subdomain, and put
"www" infront to the domain the user has entered into the url bar and then
forward, but unfrourtunately for my .co.uk/me.uk it removes the uk part

effectively pointing to a co which is a different tld

 

>From reading various websites this is what I came up with, but its probably
wrong, or badly written

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([^.]+).(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*) [NC]

RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%3.%4/$1 <http://%253.%254/$1>  [QSA,L]

 

I tried php too but since I don't program it didn't end up well

 

Any help would be much appreciated

 

And on a side note, what does the "Modify SOA" do and does it benefit me, I
know it's a dumb question. I don't use the DNS functionality on the box (I
use the registrars) , as I found it to cause me loads of problems.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Germano
