I am going to be doing some basic %{HTTP_HOST} work in my .htaccess file

  • 0

I am going to be doing some basic %{HTTP_HOST} work in my .htaccess file and was wondering if it would be possible to do something similar to this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ((foo|bar|baz).com)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/%1/webroot%{REQUEST_URI}  -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/%1/webroot%{REQUEST_URI}  -f
  RewriteRule %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/%1/webroot%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?uri=$1 [QSA,L]

basically, if someone visits foo.com on any sub-domain, I want them to be served files directly from that folder but also have any requests that aren’t for specific files sent to my index.php file for processing (which will do the routing)

The reason I am asking is because what I have written above does not actually work, so is there a way to do it? (also if this SHOULD work then it’ll obviously be a problem with the rest of my .htaccess file, but it all works when dealing with just one application folder)

The other (messy IMO) way would be to route everything to the folders and have a second .htaccess file for each domain, but I’d rather not do this if it can be done in one file!

    Your first rewrite rule is missing a regex, which makes the rewrite engine thing you are trying to match (as a regular expression) %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/apps/%1/webroot%{REQUEST_URI} and you want to rewrite that to [L]. I suspect you want that to look like:

    RewriteRule ^ /apps/%1/webroot%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

    The ^ matches anything, since you’ve already vetted the request with your 3 conditions.

    Now you need to add a few conditions to your last rule so that it doesn’t blindly get applied to everything. You probably want something like:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?uri=$1 [QSA,L]
