Question

I had this almost working several hours ago, but I can’t seem to get all the mod-rewrite stuff working right for Zend.

Given this directory structure:

/home/branches/branch1/public/index.php
/home/branches/branch2/public/index.php
/home/branches/branch3/public/index.php

How can I access these like so:

branch1.branch.example.com
branch2.branch.example.com
branch3.branch.example.com

Without having to hardcode in each branch?

Here’s my starting point (source), (I somehow can’t even get this to work at the moment, but I swear it was working this morning, ha!).

ServerAlias *.branch.example.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .* [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.branch\.example\.com
RewriteCond /home/branches/%1/public
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L]

(Side note: I’m actually working with a huge codebase using old alpha version of ZF that uses /www/errors.php as a bootstrap instead of /public/index.php, (and might even need some different rewrite rules than the current version) but I modified the above code to fit the current ZF setup)

Answer 1

Have you configured a wildcard subdomain (for routing purposes)? It won’t work unless you do.

I also think this line won’t work:

RewriteCond /home/branches/%1/public

I think that your last line needs to be something like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/branches/%1/public/$1 [L]
