Question

I’m sorta a noob at these things but I’m trying to make a simple virtual subdomain with .htaccess. I have wildcard enabled and after lots of digging, this is what I’ve come up with:

rewriteEngine On 
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ 
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?khpedia\.com$ [NC] 
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<->%{REQUEST_URI} ^(www\.)?([^.]+).*<->/([^/]+) [NC] 
rewriteCond %2<->%3 !^(.*)<->\1$ [NC] 
rewriteRule ^(.+) /%2/$1 [L]

My directory is setup as

-root
–wiki
—-index.php
–test

Right now when I travel to wiki.khpedia.com, I get a page not found. When I travel to wiki.khpedia.com/index.php, it travels to wiki.khpedia.com/wiki/index.php. I am somehow also able to access wiki.khpedia.com/test. If it doesnt seem obvious yet, I want to be able to go to wiki.khpedia.com/index.php and see wiki.khpedia.com/wiki/index.php but not in my address bar. Sorry for the text block and thanks for the help.

This works on the Apache side:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.khpedia\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+).khpedia\.com$  [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1/$1 [L,QSA]

But you’re wiki software might make up it’s own mind about redirects / urls.
