Question

Suppose I have a domain as abc.com, which is inside /htdocs/ directory. Now I am adding a blog to that as /htdocs/blog/.

Now I want this blog to browse like as blog.abc.com instead of abc.com/blog. But I don’t want to do it for all the directory. How to do it using .htaccess or some PHP code?

Here I want to create sub domain only for this blog, not for other directory present inside /htdocs/, which is the correct way to do it? & what are the possible way to do it.

Answer 1

First create the sub-domain blog.abc.com then use the following .htaccess code to turn abc.com/blog into blog.abc.com:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.abc.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]

Finally, go to blog.abc.com.
