I have an Apache 2.2.15 web server with the primary site at /web/mybiz which corresponds to http://mybiz.domain.com. We now have a new subdomain http://abc.mybiz.domain.com with the homepage living at /web/mybiz/abc/index.html.

Currently, I have a simple rewrite so when people visit http://abc.mybiz.domain.com, they get redirected to http://mybiz.domain.com/abc/index.html. The includes for that homepage live in /web/mybiz/static and /web/mybiz/images.

I need to have it so that people visiting don't see the URL change in the browser, but I cannot figure out how to make it work and keep the includes all working.

  • Are you using .htaccess or adding your rewrite in apache config?

The use of a rewrite condition along with a rule to map transparently to the subdirectory should work.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.mybiz\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/|.*\.html)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /abc/$1 [L]

Now when a request for http://abc.mybiz.domain.com/ or http://abc.mybiz.domain.com/index.html is made it will be pulled from the /abc/ subdirectory. This also covers any request for an .html file. Your includes (images/css/javascript)? should be pulled in from their real locations just fine.
